Skin Cancer Check

Australia is known for its stunning landscapes, but it also has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. At East Ryde Doctors, we emphasize the importance of prevention, early detection, and treatment of skin cancers to ensure the health and well-being of our patients.
Why Skin Cancer Checks are Essential
Prevention, early detection, and timely treatment are crucial in combating skin cancer. We encourage regular self-examination of your skin every 2-3 months for any changes. Additionally, we recommend a thorough full-body skin check with one of our doctors every 12-24 months to detect any potential skin cancers early.
