Why should you get a skin cancer check at Kildare Road Medical Centre Skin Cancer Clinic?
According to the Australian Cancer Council, two in three Australians will get skin cancer before they hit 70.
This means that an Australian has on average a 66% chance of getting skin cancer. These are pretty big odds! For example it’s greater than if you were to pick heads in a coin flip.
However, there is good news. The good news is that the Australian Cancer Council also says that 95% of all skin cancers can be successfully treated if detected early. To but this into perspective – wearing a seat-belt is thought to reduce the risk of death in a road accident by 50%. So, getting a skin check is nearly twice as effective in preventing death from skin cancers as seat-belts are for preventing road deaths!
So ask yourself, if you wouldn’t drive without a seat-belt, why wouldn’t you get a skin check?
