Skin Cancer Screening in West Palm Beach, South Florida

Skin cancer is a common problem in this country, with one American losing the battle against melanoma almost every hour. Skin cancer screening can go far in decreasing this statistic, since those who receive and early diagnosis and treatment can increase five-year survival rates to 99%. Even other types of skin cancer, like basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are easier to treat in the early stages of the disease. Skin cancer screening is not difficult and generally does not require a lot of high-tech equipment to complete. All that's really needed is regular trips to the doctor's office where the screening process can begin.

Most people should have a skin cancer screening each year. Patients who have fair skin, get plenty of sun exposure or have a family history of skin cancer, may be required to have skin cancer screenings more often as they are considered high risk. The advantage of screening will far exceed the risks when detected early and properly treated by Dr. Navarro.

Dr. Navarro holds degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University School of Medicine and the University of Miami School of Medicine. Dr. Navarro has studied with the leaders in the field of sclerotherapy both in the United States and in Europe and lectures extensively on the subject.

"I realize that vein disease can severely impact the lives of those who suffer from its effects. People not only feel embarrassed by the way they look, but also the pain often associated with varicose veins prevents people from leading normal, active lives. People who suffer from vein disease need to know that there is an alternative to living with the condition. With proper diagnosis and treatment, people can feel young and vibrant again."

Dr Navarro has also been featured in Vanity Fair and InStyle magazines, to see more go to the Press Releases section.
