Revolutionising Skin Cancer Screening at Samitivej Sukhumvit
Published on 29/11/2024
» Moles or birthmarks can appear anywhere on the body, including under the nails. While most moles are harmless, some may indicate serious skin cancers such as melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer, responsible for 75% of all skin cancer-related deaths. Melanoma is more prevalent in men and fair-skinned populations, particularly Caucasians. Although rare in Thais, melanoma develops from abnormalities in pigment-producing cells (melanocytes), often caused by excessive UV exposure. Early detection and treatment significantly enhance survival rates, with a 99% chance of recovery if diagnosed at an early stage.
