The Skin Cancer Clinic is pleased to announce the introduction of a unique and exciting Skin Cancer Prevention Program, developed by Dr Ian Katz using the latest scientific evidence.
Skin Cancer Prevention occurs in three phases:
Primary Skin Cancer Prevention
This occurs with the slip, slop, slap program and all similar programs – it’s designed to prevent sun-damage before it occurs. This is relevant to children and adults and it’s important that we play an active role in this.
Tertiary Skin Cancer Prevention
This is the prevention that occurs after the onset of skin cancers and is the treatment of skin cancers and the prevention of further progression and complications. We obviously play a large role in this prevention as we actively treat skin cancers.
Secondary Skin Cancer Prevention
Secondary Skin cancer Prevention is trying to prevent those people with sun-damage or with pre-cancerous lesions (i.e. after primary skin cancer prevention) from progressing further in the disease process. This is where our program is unique.
The program involves education in skin cancer prevention and nutrition as well as supplementing Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, specially tailored towards reducing one’s overall risk of cancer and melanoma. Vitamin D, melatonin and anti-oxidants/mineral supplementation tablets have been specially formulated for this program.
Please see us at the clinic for a referral to join this program.
