Seymour Health’s Mohs Surgery Program in the News
Seymour Health’s Mohs and Dermatologic Surgery program has recently been featured by the Vancouver Sun and CTV News, highlighting expanded access to highly specialized skin cancer surgery in Metro Vancouver.
The reports focus on Seymour Health’s Richmond surgical centre and the work of dermatologic surgeons Dr. Angela Burleigh, Dr. Irèn Kossintseva and Dr. Noelle Wong. With the team now operating at full capacity, the program is helping increase access to Mohs micrographic surgery and support efforts to reduce wait times for patients who require this specialized treatment.
What is Mohs surgery?
Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly precise treatment for certain skin cancers. During the procedure, thin layers of tissue are removed and examined under a microscope until no cancer cells remain at the edges. This approach helps preserve as much healthy tissue as possible and is especially valuable for cancers in sensitive or highly visible areas.
The growth of the program reflects Seymour Health’s commitment to delivering coordinated, specialized care in community-based settings and improving access for patients across British Columbia.
