Skin cancer screenings are crucial for early detection of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, particularly for individuals with a history of sun exposure, fair skin, or family history of skin cancer. The screening involves a thorough examination of the skin, including checking moles and other lesions for changes in size, shape, color, or texture. Dermatologists may use dermatoscopes to enhance visualization of suspicious areas. If necessary, biopsies can be performed to confirm diagnoses. Regular screenings are recommended every 6-12 months for high-risk individuals and annually for average-risk individuals. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
