Summary | Skin Cancer Prevention

Summary

The main objective of comprehensive skin cancer screening is the early detection of skin cancer with the aim of initiating treatment in time and thus reducing the rate of new cases and mortality. It is important to motivate the population to participate in the offered preventive medical checkups. Especially in the case of skin cancer screening, detailed information about skin-damaging behavior should be provided in order to reduce risk factors for the occurrence of skin cancer. In the long run, it is hoped that such comprehensive preventive medical checkups will also lead to cost savings by preventing diseases.
