Basal and squamous cell cancers are frequently curable when we detect them early. Melanoma is more aggressive, so early detection is essential.
We work closely with Carnegie Mellon University to develop novel imaging technologies to catch skin cancer at its earliest stages. We use a pioneering process called lymph node mapping to help diagnose advanced cases of melanoma and certain squamous cell cancers. Find out more about skin cancer diagnosis.
