Skin Cancer Screening

A variety of screening options are available to detect skin cancer, even before symptoms arise.

One person dies from melanoma every hour, and that’s just one kind of skin cancer. But the good news is that deaths from skin cancer are on the decline, due to earlier screening and diagnosis at a more treatable stage.

It doesn't take difficult or painful tests to protect your health. Know your risk factors and talk to our specialists about your risk level. Their recommendations can help with early detection.
