Event Details
To wrap up Melanoma month, join our discussion on advanced Melanoma and the importance of early detection.
Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. It accounts for only about 1% of all skin cancers but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. Nearly 20 Americans die from melanoma every day.
Starting at the age of 20, we encourage our patients to perform monthly self-examinations for skin cancer, especially if it runs in your family. We recommend that patients use the ABCDE system for checking your moles. Additionally, you should come in and have the doctors do a full-body examination at least once a year, more if you have a history of skin cancer. Our skilled dermatologists will examine your skin for suspicious moles or lesions, and take samples, if necessary, to be biopsied by a pathologist.
At Dermatology Consultants, our skilled dermatologists have a wide range of options for treating skin cancers, including surgical removal of the tissue, cryosurgery (freezing the cells), laser removal and photodynamic therapy.
