Skin cancer checks are essential for early detection and prevention of more serious health issues. Regular examinations allow for the identification of suspicious moles or lesions that may develop into skin cancer. Detecting skin cancer early greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and reduces the risk of it spreading to other parts of the body. Individuals with a history of sun exposure, fair skin or family history of skin cancer are at higher risk and should prioritise these checks. Simple and non-invasive, skin cancer checks play a critical role in safeguarding your health and improving long-term outcomes.
