Make appointments today for low-cost Columbiana County skin cancer screenings
Skin cancer is one of the most frequent diagnoses for patients to get in the U.S., according to The American Melanoma Foundation, affecting one in five Americans throughout their lifetime.
Preventative measures include wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding tanning beds and scheduling regular skin exams with healthcare professionals.
Early detection is key; most skin cancers can be treated effectively when caught early.
