On the occasion of World Melanoma Day, which is traditionally celebrated in May, the Dobrobut medical network will conduct a free mole examination from May 12 to 18, which will help detect melanoma and skin cancer.
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of malignant tumors. According to WHO, the number of new cases of this disease has increased by 27% over the past decade. Researchers predict further growth - by more than 50% by 2040 compared to 2020.
That is why it is important to get regular checkups and take care of your health. After all, modern methods allow us to detect more cases at an early stage.
From May 12 to 18, everyone will be able to undergo a free mole examination at one of the Dobrobut medical centers, in addition to the multidisciplinary hospitals at 3 Sim'yi Idzykovskikh Street and 12A Mykola Bazhan Avenue, and the cosmetology and dermatology center at 71G Yuliya Zdanovskaya Street.
To make an appointment for an examination, you need to call the contact center at (097) 495 2888, (050) 495 2888, (044) 495 2888.
The Dobrobut medical network will also conduct free examinations for all its employees.
“Every day we see how simple attention to our own skin saves lives. Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer, but at the same time one of those that can be detected at an early stage with a regular examination. In addition to skin checkups, it is worth following the basic rules of “sun safety”. We often do not think about sun protection in everyday life - when we walk to work, walk with a child or drink coffee on the terrace. But it is precisely such ordinary moments that are the ones when the skin needs protection the most. Studies show that up to 90% of cases of melanoma and other types of skin cancer can be prevented with regular use of sunscreen,” said Maria Kukushkina, head of the oncology department of the Dobrobut medical network.
