And melanoma - the most aggressive form - can be successfully treated if detected early. How? Through a simple and quick procedure: digital skin scanning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chapter-0\"><strong>A delayed diagnosis can be fatal. A 15-minute check-up can make all the difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when we are increasingly exposed to the sun and our skin absorbs the effects of UV rays more intensely than we realize, dermatologists are sounding the alarm:&nbsp;<strong>\"Leave no skin lesion unchecked!\"<\/strong>says Dr. Amalia Anghel, primary dermatologist at Skinmed Clinic, Bucharest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths, despite being one of the most preventable skin cancers, if identified early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet many of us still rely on visual self-assessment or the myth that \"if it doesn't hurt, it's not serious\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\"Melanoma doesn't hurt. It doesn't bleed. It doesn't scream. But it can kill within months if left untreated.\"<\/em>&nbsp;- warns Dr. Amalia Anghel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chapter-1\"><strong>Game-changing technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Skinmed Clinic, one of the most advanced dermatology centers in Romania, patients can benefit from generalized digital dermatoscopy with the FotoFinder ATBM Master system, a state-of-the-art medical device that combines HD imaging with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does it analyze every mole on your body, it also creates a complete digital map of your skin, which can be compared at each subsequent check-up to identify any changes, no matter how small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does FotoFinder do in addition to a classic control?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identifies new lesions or subtle changes invisible to the naked eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces the examination time to just 15-20 minutes compared to 90 minutes, the duration of a classic check-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically monitors nevus evolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allows detailed analysis of deep structures of suspicious lesions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides AI risk scoring for each lesion analyzed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Amalia Anghel: \"<em>It's exactly the kind of innovation that saves lives simply by seeing more than humans can see. Who should schedule a digital scan? Contrary to appearances, dermoscopy is not a fad reserved for the elderly or those with sensitive skin. Anyone can get melanoma. Even children. Even 20-30 year olds.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>People with more than 100 moles on their body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those with atypical or dysplastic nevi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People with a personal or family history of melanoma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those with very light skin (phototype I\/II)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People who suffered severe sunburn in childhood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent solar users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adolescents or children with large and asymmetrical nevi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Especially among children and adolescents, sun exposure without effective protection can trigger cellular processes with visible effects that may take years to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, prevention starts early\", warns Skinmed Clinic specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chapter-2\"><strong>One appointment a year. A lifetime of silence.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital skin scan, performed with state-of-the-art systems, takes just a few minutes and is completely painless. It is basically a highly detailed medical photograph of the whole body that can be compared at each visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\"It is a revolutionary method because it does not involve any invasive intervention, but it can detect lesions at an early stage, when the chances of healing are at their maximum\"<\/em>&nbsp;- explains Dr. Anghel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a context where the incidence of melanoma is on the rise and the sun is becoming an overlooked risk factor, digital dermoscopy is no longer a luxury but a necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can't see melanoma. But it can be detected. And time is of the essence.<br>Schedule your yearly comprehensive checkup and give yourself a moment of prevention that can make all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Article taken from: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csid.ro\/beauty\/ingrijire-frumusete\/o-simpla-scanare-a-pielii-iti-poate-salva-viata-ce-trebuie-sa-stii-despre-dermatoscopia-digitala-care-detecteaza-cancerul-cutanat-din-timp-20845799\/?sfnsn=wa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">csid.ro\/beauty<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skin cancer is on the rise in Romania.
