"Dobrobut" will hold a free skin examination on Melanoma Day

On the occasion of World Melanoma Day, which is traditionally celebrated in May, Dobrobut Medical Network will conduct a free mole examination from May 12 to 18, which will help to detect melanoma and skin cancer.

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of malignant tumors. According to the 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's why it's important to get regular checkups and take care of your health. After all, modern methods allow us to detect more cases at early stages

From May 12 to 18, everyone will be able to undergo a free mole examination at one of the Dobrobut medical centers, except for the multidisciplinary hospitals at 3 Simi Idzykovskoho Street and 12A Mykola Bazhan Avenue and the Center for Cosmetology and Dermatology at 71G Yulia Zdanovska Street.

To make an appointment for an examination, you need to call the Dobrobut contact center.

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 it is also one of those that can be detected at an early stage by a routine examination. In addition to skin checks, you should follow the basic rules of “sun safety.” Often, we don't think about sun protection in our daily lives - when we walk to work, take a walk with our child, or drink coffee on the terrace. But these are the moments when your skin needs protection the most. Research shows that up to 90% of melanoma and other skin cancers can be prevented by regular use of sunscreen,” said Maria Kukushkina, head of oncology at Dobrobut Medical Network.
