SKIN CANCER MEDICINE AT SKIN SCAN
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with 2 in 3 Australian’s developing skin cancer before the age of 70. The good news is 95% of skin cancer can be successfully treated if detected early.
At Skin Scan, our priority is early detection to provide the best protection against skin cancer, through a combination of advanced medical skill and expertise and cutting-edge skin visualisation technology. Our technology allows us to investigate every skin lesion with magnification up to 400x to determine if there is suspicious activity occurring.
SKIN CANCER
Our advanced technology allows us to assess for all types of skin cancers including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinomas and others. Our doctor is then able to diagnose, treat and refer if necessary.
Recent studies show that 71% of all melanomas do not develop from existing nevi, but develop de novo on healthy skin. In order to diagnose these as early as possible, a comprehensive preventive care not only individual moles, but the entire skin, through an intelligent combination of automated whole-body mapping and video dermatoscopy. This "two-step method for digital follow-up" is the most advanced method for monitoring the skin and is practiced by opinion leaders worldwide.
