As a cancer that doesn’t differentiate between the sexes, the group is urging men to take the risks of late detection seriously, and to get their moles regularly checked (and any suspicious moles checked straight away). Acknowledging the fact, if detected early enough, skin cancer is highly treatable.
Dr Amélie Seghers, Consultant Dermatologist at The MOLE Clinic, states: “Our early detection message is part of our year-round campaign to encourage regular screening for skin cancer, however Men’s Health Awareness Month (and Men’s Health Awareness Week, starting on 9th June) allows us spotlight the massive differences in take-up levels between men and women. We are passionate in our mission to reducing this gap.
“We are fully committed to raising awareness of the importance of early detection and to promoting the normalisation of regular mole checks, so they become an integral part of a person’s annual health routine”.
For 21 years, The MOLE Clinic has been supporting its patients with early detection of skin cancer and mole removal, with over 35,000 people every year visiting its clinics in London (4 locations: Harley Street, Oxford Circus (2 Clinics) and Moorgate), Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The brand’s mission is to help lower the UK skin cancer mortality rate by detecting skin cancer early. This is achieved by developing innovative, highest quality screening services and making those services widely available and easily accessible to the UK public and NHS GPs.
The MOLE Clinic is Bupa and AXA PPP recognised, approved by Alliance Surgical & VitalityHealth, approved NHS Suppliers, and Care Quality Commission Regulated.
