Skin cancer is the most common cancer and, if detected early, it is curable.

Most skin cancers arise in areas of skin exposed to the sun for many years, especially in people with lighter skin.

The incidence of malignant melanoma has been increasing progressively, with the majority being related to repeated sunburn.

During the skin cancer screening consultation, the entire skin is observed and preventive care guidelines regarding sun exposure are reinforced.
