Skin Cancer
Full-body skin exams and same-visit biopsies when something looks off.
Piece · 009
Overview
Early detection is everything. Annual full-body skin exams — with dermoscopy for anything worth a closer look — remain the cornerstone of skin cancer care.
Skin cancer is common and, caught early, highly treatable. The annual full-body skin exam is the single most valuable screening in dermatology.
Anything atypical is examined with dermoscopy and, when indicated, biopsied at the same visit — no waiting weeks between concern and answer.
Our approach
- — Annual full-body exams
- — Dermoscopy
