Skin Cancer Doctors in Werribee

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70, and more than 2,000 Australians die from skin cancer each year. With staggering numbers like these, skin cancer screening is more important than ever.

You are at higher risk of skin cancer if you:

Have previously been diagnosed with skin cancer
Have a family history of skin cancer
Have a large number of moles
Have a skin type that can be easily damaged by UV radiation
Have a history of severe sunburns
Work outdoors or spend lots of time outdoors with minimal or no sun protection
Have a suntan
Use or have used solariums or sunlamps

Skin cancer screening for early detection

Most skin cancers are usually curable if detected and treated early. Please give us a call or schedule an online appointment and let our Skin Cancer Clinic help you if you notice anything unusual, such as:

Any new spots
Any change in shape, colour or size of a spot or mole
A mole seeming a bit different or abnormal

Mole Mapping for skin cancer screening

We use the Foto Finder ATBM for total body mole mapping and dermoscopy. The Foto Finder ATBM is an expert system with cutting-edge medical technology that has made skin cancer screening and diagnosis easier and more reliable.

Unlike other methods that only scan individual moles, the Foto Finder ATBM scans the entire surface area of the skin, so nothing is missed. Bodyscan then assesses the full body images from the total body mapping and marks any lesions.

Via this method of skin cancer screening, melanomas are identified as early as possible through:

The comparison of the original and follow-up images
The display of any structural changes of existing and recently developed moles
Its mole analyser software that has a malignancy score

Foto Finer ATBM and the Bodysan helps keep even high-risk patients under control.

The Bodyscan results are available immediately after completion of the image acquisition and can be displayed with a single click.
