Don’t leave your health to chance. At Icon Cancer Centre Wahroonga, offers the latest in skin cancer screening technology to give you peace of mind, ensuring an early, accurate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of your skin.
We’ve got your back
Our qualified doctors use advanced screening technology to undertake skin cancer checks and full body mole mapping, helping you protect your future health. Should skin cancer be identified, our team will discuss a personalised treatment plan for you. This may include a referral to a co-located specialist or the option of the latest radiation therapy, depending on you and your cancer.
What services are available?
At Icon Cancer Centre Wahroonga’s skin cancer clinic, we are proud to offer:
Full body and spot checks
Skin checks are an important way to identify any problem spots early. Skin checks help you and your doctor to monitor your moles and help identify any suspicious changes. At your appointment, your doctor will examine your skin and ask questions about your medical history including any factors that may increase your risk for developing skin cancers. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate next steps with you based on your circumstances.
Total body mole mapping
Total body mole mapping provides a thorough skin mole check from head to toe to create a map of your moles (“bodymap”) and track changes in your skin over time.
Latest technology to ensure an accurate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of your skin
We use modern screening technology to ensure we provide you the best possible care. Our technology is powered by artificial intelligence for the imaging, documentation and analysis of skin condition.
On-site radiation therapy treatment as a non-surgical option
While there are many treatment options for skin cancers, radiation therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment option which has been used for decades to safely and effectively treat all stages of skin cancer.
Rapid access to co-located specialist services
We assess your treatment needs in collaboration with a team of specialists to ensure you are offered the most appropriate management. Surgery can be a preferred treatment option depending on the size and location of any cancer detected.
