Why should you get a skin cancer check at Kildare Road Medical Centre Skin Cancer Clinic?
Β
According to the Australian Cancer Council, two in three Australians will get skin cancer before they hit 70.
Β
This means that an Australian has on average a 66% chance of getting skin cancer. These are pretty big odds! For example itβs greater than if you were to pick heads in a coin flip.
Β
However, there is good news. The good news is that the Australian Cancer Council also says that 95% of all skin cancers can be successfully treated if detected early. To but this into perspective – wearing a seat-belt is thought to reduce the risk of death in a road accident by 50%. So, getting a skin check is nearly twice as effective in preventing death from skin cancers as seat-belts are for preventing road deaths!
Β
So ask yourself, if you wouldnβt drive without a seat-belt, why wouldnβt you get a skin check?
