After we have your initial skin check:

  • Our specialist performs a biopsy.

  • The biopsy is a procedure where the doctor puts a small numbness needle into your skin.

  • The purpose of the procedure is removing parts of any suspicious mole or skin lesion, later studied under a microscope.

  • The skin sample is also sent for other tests.

  • This procedure is called histopathological analysis. It is the only way of diagnosing skin cancer with the highest certainty.

  • Then we will wait for pathology results

  • Depending on the results, a removal is scheduled.

  • Most of the time patients need a single treatment.

  • Further treatment is needed if pathology report shows a severe form of skin cancer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON SKIN CANCER

Should I do a skin check?

Anyone should get their skin checked. Ideally, adults should check their skin every 3 months. If you notice any alarming changes or have never done a skin check we highly recommend you to check your skin in our clinic.

 

We understand that people with any type of skin colour can get skin cancer and therefore advice on early checks, especially if you:

 

  • Spend lots of time exposed to harmful UV radiation of the sun

  • Your family spends lots of time on outdoor activities, while unprotected from sun exposure

  • Have made a self-assessment and noticed some unusual skin changes

  • Have a family history of skin cancer

  • Your skin type (fair skin, freckles) is sensitive to UV radiation

  • You burn easily and have been severely sunburned in the past

  • Use solariums or keep your skin tanned during your lifetime

  • Are over 55 years old male individual

How to Notice The Changes on My Body?

With the process of self-assessment, you will be able to check your entire body from head to toe. Make sure you stand in a room with a good light and check every side, including your head, neck, face, scalp, lips and ears. Conduct the assessment every month. Do not leave out ‘hidden spots’ like your nails or feet.

 

While doing your self-assessment, think of the “ABCD” rule:

 

  • A – Asymmetry – asymmetrical shape where one half mismatches the other

  • B – Border – look for ragged edges

  • C – Colour – any uneven shade of brown, black, red, pink, white or blue

  • D – Diameter – you should be able to notice a significant change in size (more than 6mm)

What Changes Should I Pay Attention to During Self-Assessment?

  • Melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer appears as a bump or pigmented patch. If you have lots of moles on your skin or have noticed new moles overgrowth, you should make an appointment to get your skin checked. The more moles on your skin, the higher risk of melanoma.

  • Basal cell carcinoma – look for small, smooth, pearly bumps or pink or brown coloured lesion.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma – usually appears as a firm, red nodule or a rough flat lesion. They may itch, become crusty or even bleed.

Did you know that -- It Takes Only One Mole to Turn Into a Melanoma?

A simple consultation with our board-certified specialist can save yours and your loved one’s life. You will be required to give your complete clinical history.

 

Our staff conducts a Full Body Scan, taking images of suspicious spots and moles. The images are immediately evaluated for any skin condition.

 

After that, our specialist inspects your entire body followed by confirmation of the diagnosis and early removal if necessary.

MWS Skin Cancer Update 2017 – Cape Town March 3rd–4th, 2017

View PDF Document

The Melanoma World Society (MWS) is the successor organization to the WHO Melanoma Group. The latter established the World Congress of Melanoma in the years 1985–2005, conducted trials and other projects with melanoma patients. The WHO melanoma group was disbanded in 2005, as WHO did no longer financially support such expert groups. MWS was initiated at the 8th World Congress of Melanoma 2013 in Hamburg, founded in June 2014 in Munich, and registered in January 2016.

The First MWS International Educational Symposium – Skin Cancer Update 2017 is the first of a series of educational meetings organized under the auspices of the Melanoma World Society. It is intended to organize the meeting every year in different countries.

International and national key opinion leaders on skin cancer will be invited to give an overview throughout specified presentations, to present latest clinical trial results, and to discuss on exciting new drugs, technologies and methods of treatment with the audience. The lively interaction of clinicians, as well as experts in translational and basic research, and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, guarantees a successful outcome for every participant.

In addition to the scientific value of this meeting, every participant may seize the given opportunity to interact with experts in a familiar setting in one of the most interesting cities of South Africa.

Please join us for this event and submit your own studies and case presentations as free communications and as posters.

We look forward to welcoming you in Cape Town in March 2017!
