Free Skin Cancer Screening

More than 3.5 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in more then 2 million people in the United States this year. The deadliest type of skin cancer-melanoma-is estimated to kill more than 9,100 people this year. That means one American dies from melanoma every hour.

That's why Dr. Minh Dang is hosting a free skin cancer screening event for the public on May, 27 2014 7:30 am to 12:00 noon in Pleasanton at 6155 Stone ridge Dr. Suite 150. We will be holding a second skin cancer screening day in our Tracy office  June, 2 from 7:30 am to 12:00 noon 2160 W.Grant Line Road suite 215 Tracy, CA 95377.   This screening event is part of the American Academy of Dermatology's SPOT Skin Cancer initiative. The screening program has provided more than 2.2 million screenings since its inception in 1985. This program offers the opportunity for dermatologist to educate the public about skin cancer prevention and early detection while saving lives by finding skin cancer prevention and early detection.

A skin cancer screening is a visual, non-invasive exam that only takes a few minutes, yet it could save a person's life. Attending a free screening can raise awareness of the importance of skin cancer prevention and early detection.
