At Apollo Dermatology, we are passionate about helping our patients protect their skin (and their lives) through early detection and expert treatment of skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, but the good news is that when caught early, it is highly treatable.
Over the last year alone, Dr. Arjun Dupati, a board-certified dermatologist and board-certified Mohs micrographic surgeon, has diagnosed 520 basal cell carcinomas, 210 squamous cell carcinomas, and 27 melanomas. Thanks to early detection and prompt treatment, every single one of these patients is healthy and thriving today.
A few of these melanomas were serious enough to require sentinel lymph node testing by surgical oncologists, but because they were caught early during routine skin exams, those patients received timely care before the cancer had a chance to spread.
Why Early Detection Matters
When found early, skin cancers can often be treated quickly and effectively. Mohs surgery, a specialized technique performed by Dr. Dupati, allows for precise removal of skin cancers while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to excellent cure rates and cosmetic results.
Who Should Get Screened?
We recommend that all adults aged 18 and older schedule a yearly full-body skin cancer screening. During this detailed exam, Dr. Dupati carefully evaluates every mole, freckle, and spot using advanced dermoscopy techniques honed during his training at the University of Michigan Department of Dermatology.
If you have a personal history of skin cancer, more frequent visits, typically every six months, are strongly recommended to ensure that any recurrence or new lesion is detected early.
A Simple Step That Saves Lives
Skin cancer screenings are one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness. They take just a few minutes, are completely non-invasive, and can make all the difference.
At Apollo Dermatology, Dr. Dupati combines compassionate care with world-class expertise to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the best possible skin cancer prevention and treatment.
Schedule your annual skin check today—and encourage your family members to do the same. Your skin is your body’s largest organ…protect it with the care it deserves.
