Why skin cancer prevention is so important
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide - but also one of the most treatable if detected early. Malignant melanoma ("black skin cancer") in particular can be aggressive, but is easily treatable in its early stages. Skin cancer treatment at JUVENIS
Sun protection is prevention
UV radiation is one of the main causes of skin cancer. Even a few sunburns - especially during childhood - can significantly increase the risk. This is why sun protection is not a summer trend, but a medical necessity.
Tips for everyday life:
- Use a day cream with sun protection factor every day, even on cloudy days.
- Avoid intense midday sun (11-15 hrs).
- Protect your skin with clothing, a sun hat and sunglasses.
- Reapply cream regularly - especially when swimming or sweating.
Birthmark check saves lives
Everyone has moles - but not all of them are harmless. Changes can be the first signs of skin cancer. Regular self-checks and medical skin checks are therefore essential.
Pay attention to the ABCD rule:
