Skin Cancer Screening

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, and early detection plays an important role in successful treatment. At Nuvo Health, our doctors provide comprehensive skin cancer checks and screening services to help identify skin cancers at an early stage.

Our doctors are trained to perform thorough skin examinations, identify signs of skin cancer and perform biopsies where required. We use advanced techniques, including dermoscopy and total body photography, to support accurate detection and monitoring of suspicious skin lesions.

We recommend that Australian adults have a full-body skin check at least once a year, particularly those with a personal or family history of skin cancer or significant sun exposure. Detecting melanoma early can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Alongside regular skin cancer checks with your doctor, performing monthly self-skin examinations can help identify new or changing moles, spots or skin abnormalities early. Checking your own skin or asking a partner to assist can help you stay aware of any changes that may require medical review.

Remember your ABCDEs

To aid in the detection of skin cancer, patients are able to use the ABCDE’s of melanoma identification as guidelines when conducting self-examinations. The letters stand for:

A – Asymmetry: One half of a mole or birthmark does not match the other.

B – Border: The edges of the mole or birthmark are irregular, scalloped, or notched.

C – Colour: The colour of the mole or birthmark is not the same throughout, with different shades of tan, brown, or black, or it has blue, red, white, or other colours.

D – Diameter: The mole or birthmark is larger than a pencil eraser, or about 6mm (about 1/4 inch) in diameter.

E – Evolving: Any changes in the size, shape, colour, or elevation of a mole or birthmark, or the appearance of new symptoms such as itching, bleeding, or crusting.

It is important to note that not all melanomas will have all of these characteristics, but the presence of any of these signs should be evaluated by a doctor, as well as any new or changing moles or birthmarks.

Prevention is key

There are a few ways you can help protect yourself against skin cancer before visiting us.

Our doctor’s also understand that a potential skin cancer diagnosis can be stressful, and our team is here to support you every step of the way, from screening and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up care. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where patients feel comfortable and well-cared for.
