Insight into the day of surgery: Melanoma detected at an early stage

Malignant melanoma, also known as "black skin cancer", is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer. It develops from pigment-forming cells (melanocytes) and can form metastases at a very early stage. Early detection and treatment is therefore crucial for successful therapy.

A conspicuous birthmark was discovered on this patient's back by dermatologist Dr. Tamara Kopp. The conspicuous tissue was removed and histologically examined. Dr. Tamara Kopp's suspicion was confirmed: it was a melanoma.

JUVENIS carries out birthmark checks and skin cancer screenings. You can find more information under this link: Skin cancer screening & birthmark check Vienna

The treatment of skin cancer or dermatosurgical removal is carried out by experienced dermatologists at JUVENIS.

Conclusion: prevention saves lives

Regular skin checks, protection from UV rays and self-checking of moles are essential for prevention. People who are particularly at risk should have a skin cancer screening at least once a year.
