The importance of Mole Screenings

A Year of Progress in Mole Screenings

Mole Screening Appointment

As we celebrate our first anniversary of offering full-body mole screenings, we want to emphasize the critical importance of early detection for maintaining skin health. Throughout this past year, our dedicated team has successfully identified several concerning cases, including 4 suspected melanoma skin cancers and 15 basal cell carcinomas. We also removed 4 basal cell carcinomas and referred 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) for further evaluation. These alarming statistics highlight how essential regular screenings are for detecting skin issues early when they are most treatable.

Why Schedule Your Mole Screening?

- Early Detection Saves Lives: Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, but early detection significantly improves treatment success rates. When caught in its early stages, the five-year survival rate for melanoma can reach an impressive 99%. Although basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are generally less severe than melanoma, early detection is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes. Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications that impact overall health.

- Comprehensive Evaluations: Our full-body screenings involve a thorough examination of your skin for any changes or suspicious moles. This meticulous process helps to identify concerns that could go unnoticed during routine self-examinations. We also educate our patients on effective skin-check techniques for future self-assessments.

- Tailored Recommendations: If we find any areas of concern, our expert team will provide personalised recommendations to meet your unique needs, ensuring you feel safe and well-informed about your skin health.
