Early Detection of Skin Cancer using Leading Edge Medical Tech
It may surprise you to know that skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, accounting for 1/3 of all cancers diagnosed in Canada. In our clinic, we commonly diagnose people with skin cancer that had no idea they even had it. Regular check ups leading to early diagnosis are key to survival.
Skin cancer is curable in the early stages. Finding medical professionals to monitor changes in your skin is a difficult task in the current health system of wait lists. Thanks to state-of-the-art medical technology, you now can have rapid access to skin cancer screening without the need for a referral from a physician. We are one of only a few clinics in Canada that offer this type of comprehensive scan, which can cover all body regions and detect subtle changes in a lesion over time with follow-up scans. Over 20% of the skin biopsies we do on-site test positive for cancer. It is a serious problem and we have a serious solution.
