Skin cancer checks
Skin Cancer Checks
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with over 2 in 3 Australians developing it by age 70. Early detection saves lives, especially when cancers are found and treated before they spread. That’s why regular skin cancer checks are essential especially for those at higher risk.
At Cameron Park Healthcare, our experienced GPs provide comprehensive skin cancer assessments for patients across Cameron Park and Newcastle. We offer:
- Full-body skin checks to identify unusual moles, freckles, or lesions
- Dermoscopy evaluations using magnification for accurate spotting
- Same-day removal or treatment of minor lesions (if suitable)
- Referrals to dermatologists or skin cancer specialists when needed
