Skin cancers are on the rise in Maryland. Patients should be educated and aware that the sun kills skin cells. Many cancers of the skin are locally problematic, and although they can be disfiguring, seldom are life threatening.
Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. So deadly that it has been found in the brain and even on the spinal cord. Melanoma has even been known to spread from a pregnant mother to child directly from the fetus. Dr. George Verghese and our team of Physician Assistances at Mid-Atlantic Skin can help prevent serious issues from occurring through free skin cancer screenings in Southern Maryland.
SKIN CANCER TREATMENT SOUTHERN MARYLAND
There are an estimated 3,000,000 plus US Skin Cancer cases per year. This number is higher than the combined incidence of breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer.
The majority of the skin cancers we see are basal cell carcinomas (BCC). The incidence of these continues to rise in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC.
Skin cancer cases continue to rise due to population increases, sun exposure, and vacation. This shift in the aging population and the increasing amount of leisure time or vacations–spent under natural sunlight or artificial ultraviolet (UV) exposure results in skin cancer.
Skin cancer can also be expensive and costly if not identified or treated. That is why free skin cancer screenings are so important. Medicare alone spends $15 billion each year on the treatment of skin cancer care treatments.
For patients with at risk deformities due to surgery on the face, neck, or body, Mid-Atlantic Skin offers non-surgical options, like our highly recommended Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT).
