One in five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Fortunately, when diagnosed early, most forms of skin cancer can be treated with a good prognosis.
Dermatologists at the Israel Englander Department of Dermatology are highly specialized in diagnosing and treating all forms of skin cancer, as well as addressing the unique dermatological needs of patients with other types of cancer.
Expert preventative care: We encourage patients to have regular full-body exams to detect any growths as early as possible, as well as establish a baseline and familiarity with any skin markings. Our general dermatologists are well-trained in conducting these exams, which can be a part of any routine visit. Any concerns will be referred to our dermatologic oncology team.
Expert diagnosis: Our board-certified general dermatologists are highly experienced in detecting and diagnosing skin cancer, as well as pinpointing any areas of concern that warrant additional testing or long-term evaluation.
Our dermatopathologists expertly diagnose all types of skin cancers by carefully evaluating cells under the microscope. These highly specialized and experienced physicians determine the specific type of skin cancer, which helps patients receive the most effective treatment and best possible care.
At 麻豆高清, patients who receive a skin cancer diagnosis go on to receive treatment from our dermatologic oncology team.
