ABSTRACT
Mohs' chemosurgery, originally developed to treat skin cancer, uses zinc chloride in Mohs' ointment to fix tissues, and is applicable in different clinical settings. In advanced head and neck cancer, Mohs' chemosurgery relieves main skin-infiltration symptoms such as bleeding, infection, exudation, and severe pain. Mohs' chemosurgery conducted in two cases of advanced head and neck cancer yielded an acceptable result free of bleeding, pain, exudation, and infection. Steps in palliative care are repeated until the tumor surface is completely fixed. Using Mohs' ointment provides acceptable relief without technical complications. Although not a topical chemotherapeutic agent, it fixes the lesion well.
