Why We Offer Skin Cancer Checks
Melanoma stands as the second most prevalent cancer diagnosis in Queensland. Additionally, non-melanoma skin cancers, notably squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), are also prevalent in the region. The leading cause of these skin malignancies is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Of noteworthy concern is that even childhood exposure to UV rays can significantly heighten one's risk of developing skin cancer in the future.
​
When skin cancer is detected early, treatment is often less invasive. Regular skin checks can help detect suspicious lesions early, and biopsy can aid diagnosis and guide treatment options.
​
Skin cancer checks are offered by the experienced GPs at Peregian Springs Doctors linked with Aesthetic Astute.
