Why is Skin Cancer Screening Indispensable?

Early Prevention – Your Best Chance for Healthy Skin

Skin cancer is insidious – it often develops unnoticed and initially manifests only through small, seemingly harmless changes. This is precisely why regular skin cancer screening is so important. It is your chance to detect the disease early and act promptly.
The numbers speak for themselves: skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but the chances of recovery are excellent if it is discovered early. Screening helps to identify even tiny abnormalities that are often overlooked with the naked eye. This means: Instead of worrying only when symptoms appear, you can actively take preventive measures and protect your skin health.
Regular check-ups at our Skin Cancer Screening Munich practice not only give you peace of mind but also protect you from more extensive treatments that might be necessary with a late diagnosis. Take advantage of the opportunity to clarify potentially dangerous changes early – your skin will thank you for it.

Skin Cancer Screening Munich

A Brief Examination with Great Impact

A skin cancer screening is not only straightforward but also your most important measure for early detection of dangerous skin changes. Even small, often inconspicuous changes can be indicators of skin cancer – and this is exactly where screening comes in.
A skin cancer screening is more than just a quick look at the skin – it is your chance to detect changes early and prevent skin cancer. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and trained specialists, you can rely on a thorough and precise examination. In less than half an hour, you will not only gain certainty about your skin health but also the reassuring feeling of having actively done something for your well-being.

At our Skin Cancer Screening Munich practice, we offer two state-of-the-art approaches for prevention:

The FotoFinder ATBM method for Automatic Total Body Mapping supports us in the earliest possible detection of melanomas.
Studies show that the majority of all melanomas do not develop from existing moles (nevi) but arise on healthy skin. To detect these as early as possible, a holistic prevention strategy includes not only individual moles but the entire skin. This is achieved here through the intelligent combination of automated total body mapping and videodermoscopy. The Body Scan Master captures a patient’s lesions from all total body images and intelligently arranges them on a screen, sorted by new, changed, and unchanged nevi. This view helps to identify conspicuous lesions at a glance – quickly and precisely thanks to AI technology!
The FotoFinder ATBM master harmonizes artificial intelligence and human experience, forming an unbeatable duo.
Nevisense measures what cannot be seen. In addition to skin cancer prevention using dermoscopy (=epiluminescence microscopy), we also offer the innovative Nevisense option. As the first technology that can be used to support diagnosis, Nevisense utilizes electrical impedance spectroscopy. This new method complements the previously visual-only possibilities of skin cancer prevention with a non-invasive measurement technique for moles, thus providing objective information about their cells. By measuring cell structure, cell alignment, cell size, and cell type, Nevisense provides valuable additional information for melanoma detection and skin cancer prevention. The Nevisense method is painless and has a sensitivity of 97%. The accuracy of Nevisense has been clinically proven and validated in the world’s largest prospective study conducted to date in the field of melanoma diagnosis.

Skin Prevention for Risk Groups and Every Skin Type

Skin cancer can affect anyone, but certain groups of people have a higher risk and should pay particular attention to regular preventive examinations. These include:

  • People with fair skin and freckles: Fair skin types are particularly susceptible to sun damage and skin cancer, as their skin has fewer pigments to protect against UV rays.
  • Individuals with many moles or noticeable skin changes: The more moles you have, the higher the risk that one of them will change. Particularly large or irregularly shaped moles should be checked regularly.
  • Families with a history of skin cancer: If there have been cases of skin cancer in your family, your personal risk also increases.
  • People with intense UV exposure: Regular sunbathing, solarium use, or outdoor professional activities can significantly increase the risk of skin cancer.

A skin cancer screening is particularly advisable from the age of 35, as those with statutory health insurance are entitled to this preventive care every two years. However, younger people with risk factors should also not hesitate to have their skin checked regularly.
With the right prevention, you protect your skin and gain the certainty that changes will be detected early – for a good and secure feeling.
