Primary Care Skin Screening Can Reduce Future Cancer Risks
Bovie® Derm 101 High Frequency Desiccator and Freezpoint™ Cryosurgical Device
Skin cancer is on the rise. A study performed by JAMA Dermatology estimated a 35% increase in non-melanoma cancer between 2006 and 2012. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, after just one incidence of basal cell carcinoma, one of the two main types of non-melanoma cancer, the threat of another occurrence increases by 40%.
Diagnosis of non-melanoma cancers can also lead to future risks of other type of cancer. Skin lesion like Actinic Keratosis or atypical moles may eventually evolve into skin cancer. Early detection and removal of suspicious lesions aids in lessening the risk of non-melanoma and other types of skin cancer. Performing skin screening, Family Practice and Primary Care doctors can detect potential skin cancers early on; removal of these lesions is recommended.
Using the Bovie® Derm 101 or Freezpoint™ to remove such lesions is an easy and affordable way for primary care physicians to provide better care to their patient and while improving cash-flow for their practice.
These and other great Bovie products are available through your independent distributor.
