benefits of skin cancer screenings

benefits of skin cancer screenings

Skin Cancer Screenings are a crucial part of preventive healthcare, allowing for early detection of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Detecting skin cancer at an early stage significantly improves treatment success rates and helps prevent the cancer from spreading. Regular screenings could save your life.

important considerations:

  • Screening frequency varies based on your skin type, history, and risk factors—your provider will recommend the best schedule for you.
  • Regular self-checks help you detect changes between appointments, ensuring any concerns are addressed early.
  • Family history, past sun exposure, and skin type all play a role in your personal skin cancer risk.

common skin cancer screening questions

FAQ
how often should i get a skin cancer screening?

It is generally advised to receive a Skin Cancer Screening annually. However, if you have a personal history of Skin Cancer or are at a higher risk, screenings might be recommended more frequently.  

what does a skin cancer screening involve?

We will start by reviewing your medical history, including any prior Skin Cancers or precancerous lesions, family history of Skin Cancer, and sun exposure habits. You will be encouraged to wear a gown and undress to your level of comfort for your full-body check. We will inspect the skin on your entire body, from your scalp to the soles of your feet, including the spaces between your fingers and toes.  

can i bring up additional concerns such as acne or hair loss during my skin cancer screening?

Skin Cancer Screenings are specifically scheduled to detect signs of Skin Cancer. This appointment time is dedicated to a thorough skin examination. If you have other dermatological concerns or conditions you’d like to discuss, we kindly ask that you schedule a separate appointment to ensure that each concern gets the dedicated, time, attention, and care it deserves. 

what happens if something is detected during my skin cancer screening?

If something unusual is spotted during your Skin Cancer Screening, the next step usually involves a skin biopsy. A skin biopsy is a quick procedure in which a small sample of the skin is taken and sent to a pathology lab for further examination. 

how should i prepare for my skin cancer screening?

It is best to come without makeup or nail polish. We recommend wearing your hair down without any extensions or sew-ins so the scalp can be examined. It’s also helpful to be aware of any spots or moles you want to point out. 

how long does a skin cancer screening take?

A typical full-body skin examination can take about 10-20 minutes. 

will a skin cancer screening be covered by my insurance?

Coverage varies among insurance providers. It’s important to check with your insurance company to understand the coverage specifics and any out-of-pocket costs. That being said, many insurance plans do cover Skin Cancer Screenings, especially if you’re at a higher risk. 

can i perform a skin cancer screening over telemedicine?

Although telemedicine has made significant strides in offering patients convenience, photos and video conferencing offer limited visual insights, and might not capture the fine details of a lesion or growth. As such, Skin Cancer Screenings are performed in person only. 

can i perform a skin cancer screening at home?

It is good practice to regularly check your skin for any new or changing moles or spots. However, this doesn’t replace a professional screening by a dermatology healthcare provider and in-person examinations are still recommended.
