SKIN CANCER SCREENING – IDENTIFY ANY ABNORMAL OR PRECANCEROUS GROWTHS

London Dermatology | 19 March 2025

The most prevalent type of cancer, skin cancer, which includes melanoma, basal cell cancer, and squamous cell cancer, is becoming more frequent. In actuality, one in five individuals will have skin cancer at some point in their lives.

You will have a visual screening for skin cancer to look for any growths or moles. A visual examination is usually sufficient to determine your health, but in certain situations, further tests or a biopsy may be required to reach a diagnosis. Our dermatologists can identify any abnormal or precancerous growths with the use of a skin cancer screening, and patients have a high chance of success and treatability when skin cancer is discovered early.

Because our dermatologists are aware of which skin growths are benign or harmless and which need further testing, the skin cancer screening procedure is quick. Our dermatologists will examine your body visually to look for any abnormal growths that exhibit any concerning symptoms. Skin cancer screenings can be given yearly to preserve health and stop cancer from developing unchecked, but they are not limited to people who are displaying any indications of skin cancer or unusual skin growths.

For patients under 30, Devonshire Dermatology provides thorough skin cancer screening, including genetic testing and counselling, for those with a strong family history of melanoma, atypical nevi, and basal cell carcinoma or squamous.
