Skin Cancer Screening
Early detection is the most powerful tool in skin cancer prevention
Protecting Your Skin Health
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but it is also one of the most treatable when caught early. Dr. Burov performs thorough full-body skin examinations and mole mapping to detect suspicious lesions at their earliest, most treatable stage.
Annual skin cancer screenings are recommended for everyone, and more frequently for those with a personal or family history of skin cancer, fair skin, or significant sun exposure.
- Full-body skin examination
