What to expect when you arrive for your appointment

When you arrive at the Skin Cancer Hub, you can expect to be greeted by friendly and professional staff who will assist you with checking in and filling out any necessary paperwork. You may be asked to provide your medical history and any information about your skin concerns. Once checked in, you will likely be taken to a waiting area where you can relax until your appointment time. One of the staff will then escort you to an examination room, where a practitioner will perform a thorough skin evaluation. This may include a full-body examination, as well as a closer look at any areas of concern. The staff at the Skin Cancer Hub will guide you through the process and provide you with the information and support you need to address any skin cancer concerns.

Common Questions

Our recommendation is to have a full-body skin check at least once a year for those under 50 and for those over 50 years of age every six months, especially if you have a history of skin cancer or are at higher risk. Your practitioner may suggest more frequent checks based on your personal risk factors.
Common signs include changes in the size, shape, or color of moles, new growths on the skin, sores that do not heal, and irregular borders or asymmetry in moles.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and may include a biopsy, where a small sample of skin is removed and tested for cancer cells.
The main types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, each with different characteristics and treatment approaches.
Treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of skin cancer and may include surgery, topical treatments, cryotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy.

Preventative measures include

  •  Avoid the sun or use protective measures when the UV index is higher than 3
  • Use a SPF50+ broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) on all areas of exposed skin
  • Wear sun-protective-clothing
  • Wear a broad-brimmed-hat
  • Wear sunglasses
  • Annual skin checks with professional practitioners
  • Avoid solariums
While not all skin cancers can be prevented, taking protective steps can significantly reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
