In order to prevent this, frequent cancer screenings, as well as simple check-ups you can do at home, are necessary.Ī skin exam usually takes about 10-20 minutes. Unfortunately, many patients discover skin cancer only when it has already spread to other areas of the body and the chances of surviving then are slim. This increases the patient’s chances of survival by up to 90%. Skin cancer is easier to treat if it is detected early when it is less likely that it has metastasized. Regular skin exams with a dermatologist can help detect skin cancer in its early stages. This is greatly due to the fact that our skin, the largest organ of our body, receives the most exposure to sunlight. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and it is estimated that about 20% of people will develop this form of cancer in their lifetime. If you have a suspicious lesion that you are concerned about, we are happy to evaluate it for you by scheduling a skin exam.
