Skin Cancer Screening

Dr. Adam Czalusta presented a very informative program on skin cancer. While Houston is a sun-loving city, that can often lead to problems with getting too much sun exposure and skin cancer. We reviewed a slide presentation showing the three types of skin cancer (Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanoma) as well as several pre-cancerous skin conditions. Check out the following websites to learn more about how to spot skin cancer and what to do about it if you suspect problems.
