Skin Cancer Check, Mole Check & Melanoma Treatment Maitland
Australia has the highest rate of melanoma in the world, with more than 15,000 new cases of invasive melanoma diagnosed every year. While melanoma is less common than Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), it can grow and spread rapidly if left untreated — yet melanomas detected and treated early are cured in over 90% of cases.
How Often Should You Have a Mole Check?
We recommend a comprehensive full-body skin and mole check every 12 to 18 months for adults, and every 6 to 12 months for elderly patients or high-risk individuals (including those with a personal or family history of melanoma, previous BCC/SCC, fair skin, or multiple atypical moles).
