I love catching these BCCs while they’re really small. Very rewarding and avoids a whole lot of trouble for the patient later on.

Skin checks:
- Hahndorf Medical Centre
- Kings Park Clinic
- Skin Matters, Burnside

This lesion on a patient’s forehead was previously treated with cryotherapy elsewhere but has persisted and continued to grow. Examination with dermoscopy revealed a BCC. These skin cancers in general do not respond to treatment with cryotherapy as they are deeper in the skin. They are cured by excision 🔪

In your screening mammogram report, there will probably be a note about your breast density. It’ll be either A, B, C, or D.

A is least dense, D is most dense. The denser your breasts, the harder it is to spot a breast cancer if it is there. The ability to pick up a breast cancer if it is there in a screening mammogram is 90% for A or B, 84% for C, and 64% for D (slightly more than a coin toss).

Women with C and D breast densities have a 1.6x and 2.6x higher risk of developing breast cancer than the general population.

If you have high breast density, you should discuss the option of supplemental screening with your GP (Spoiler: There are currently no strict guidelines about this in Australia but they are in the works).
