PREVENTION OF MELANOMA

- Examination of moles and other skin symptoms using a dermatoscope – focusing on malignant tumours, especially Melanoma

Malignant Melanoma is a malignant tumour of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). It is one of the most dangerous tumours that affects not only skin. Caused mainly by ultraviolet radiation and a family history, Melanoma is more likely to affect people with many skin lesions (e.g. moles, freckles, skin tags etc.). The prevalence of Melanoma has been increasing during the recent years and so it is very important to examine your skin and have all suspicious symptoms removed. The longer the Melanoma stays in the skin, the higher the risk of affecting other organs and threatening the patient’s life. On the other hand early removal of tumour can completely heal the patient.
