In Australia we have the world’s highest incidence of skin cancer. The good news is the majority of skin cancer is treatable. Yet, many people are reluctant to have their skin checked due to long delays between recognition of a skin cancer, obtaining a referral, and specialist diagnosis and treatment.
The ProcessOur process begins with screening and detection, helping us give you an accurate diagnosis and then implement a strategy tailored to your individual need. Led by Dr Alastair Taylor (MBBS, FRACS), our team of specialised GP's are highly trained to identify any skin cancer problems. This screening process may simply provide peace of mind that all is well, or, when risks appear, assist with early intervention, support and comprehensive follow up. The RisksSkin cancers fall into two broad groups – melanomas and NMSC. Melanoma is rightly the most feared, but NMSC is far more common and causes much more morbidity and cost than is generally recognised. Much of this cost and morbidity results from delayed detection and treatment. Late diagnosis makes treatment more difficult and the results can be compromised.
The Treatment360uv Skin Cancer Clinic offers a holistic suite of options in the treatment of skin cancer. Many early cancers and pre-cancers can be detected and dealt with simply by cryotherapy, topical creams or local excision. More serious problems can be dealt with promptly by hospital admission and surgery. As part of The CAPS Clinic new medical facility in Deakin, 360uv has access to industry-leading technology and medical facilities that can be utilised in the treatment process.
