Skin Cancer Screening
Skin cancer, which includes squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer and melanoma is the most common cancer and its incidence is steadily rising. In fact, one in five people will develop skin cancer during their lifetime.
A visual skin cancer screening will be performed on you to check any moles or growths. In most cases, a visual exam is enough to know that you are healthy, but, in some cases, further testing or a biopsy may be needed to make a diagnosis. A skin cancer screening can help our dermatologists find any irregular growths or precancerous growths, and when skin cancer is detected early, patients experience a high level of treatability and success.
The process of a skin cancer screening is brief, as our dermatologists knows what skin growths are benign or harmless and what require more testing. Our dermatologists will visually scan your body for any irregular growths that display any worrying symptoms. Skin cancer screenings are not just for patients who are exhibiting any symptoms of skin cancer or irregular skin growths, but a skin cancer screening can be provided annually to maintain health and prevent cancer from developing unchecked.
Devonshire Dermatology offers comprehensive screening for skin cancer including genetic testing and counselling for patients with a strong family history of melanoma, atypical nevi, and basal cell carcinoma or squamous below the age of 30.
