Examination of the skin for suspicious changes or precursors of skin cancer.
Thorough skin cancer screening is an important contribution to protecting your skin and your well-being in the long term. In our practice, we attach great importance to a holistic examination, which also includes careful control of the skin - so that possible diseases can be detected and treated at an early stage.
What is skin cancer?
Skin cancer is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of skin cells and can take various forms. The most common types are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Malignant melanoma, also known as melanoma skin cancer, occurs less frequently, but is particularly dangerous because it can quickly metastasize to other organs.
How does skin cancer screening work?
As part of our preventive care, we carefully examine your entire skin surface – from head to toe – for conspicuous moles or pigment changes. If necessary, we use dermatoscopy, a special technique for the precise assessment of skin changes.
Why is skin cancer screening important?
The early detection of skin cancer significantly increases the chances of recovery and usually enables gentler treatment. Regular check-ups are particularly recommended for people with high sun exposure or a family history. Through consistent checks, you reduce the risk of skin cancer developing unnoticed and being treated too late.
