Skin Cancer Screening

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. While this may be alarming, it’s important to know that if detected early, many cases are treatable (even curable).

Why get screened?

While individuals with fair skin, freckles, many moles, light-colored eyes or a history of blistering sunburns are at a higher risk for skin cancer, anyone can get it. It also can occur anywhere on the body, not just on skin that is exposed to the sun.

Because of this, it’s important to be aware of the signs of skin cancer and talk to your dermatologist about any concerns you have. You may be recommended for a screening, which involves a thorough visual examination of your skin.
