Free skin cancer screenings in May
1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer, making it the most common cancer in the United States.
“If you live in Hampton Roads it is important that you know about melanoma,” says Dr. Abby Van Voorhees, Professor and Chair of EVMS Dermatology. “This cancer occurs here more frequently than in other parts of the country.”
Fortunately, it’s also one of the most preventable forms of the disease. With early detection and proper treatment, most skin cancers are also curable.
During the month of May, EVMS Dermatology is holding three free skin cancer screenings. Registration is required.
