The group of dermato-oncological diseases includes various forms of skin cancer, from precancerous, or premalignant lesions, which if not treated can turn into invasive cancer, to invasive cancers such as squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, and melanoma.
Skin cancer most often affects older people, and people with fair skin, sensitive to the sun. Also, people who have spent a large part of their lives exposed to the sun have a higher incidence of skin cancer.
If we recognize and detect it in time, skin cancer can be cured treated surgically, with radiotherapy or if it is a superficial type with ablative methods, in this way we prevent the occurrence of more serious and life-threatening complications.
Hence, it is important to regularly examine the skin and skin changes both by self-examinations and at the dermatologists manually, or in more complex situations with a digital dermatoscope.
