Duration Skin Cancer Check & Lesion removal Estimated Cost: Upfront Fee $234.9 Rebate $84.9 Out of Pocket ~$150 Make an appointment < Back About this Service Skin Cancer Check at Brunswick Doctors Comprehensive Skin Cancer Screening Are you looking for a skin cancer check in Melbourne? Brunswick Doctors is equipped to perform a variety of skin procedures and comprehensive skin checks. Why Have a Skin Cancer Check? Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in Australia. It's estimated that 2 in 3 Australians will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. Early detection is key to successful treatment, and a regular skin cancer check can save your life. Types of Skin Cancer To be brief, there are three main types of skin cancer: Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are both classed as non-melanoma cancers. These skin cancers are more common in men. Melanoma skin cancer is the third most common cancer in women, fourth in men, and the most common cancer in young people. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Should I have a skin cancer check? While most of these cancers will be of slow-growing variety (e.g. basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma), there will be a significant number of people diagnosed with the most deadly form of skin cancer – melanoma . If untreated, Melanoma can progress to your lungs, brain, heart and bones.  If you discover them in their early stages, skin cancer is highly treatable and a biopsy may be all that is required. However, treatment for skin cancer becomes much more difficult if given time to grow.*2 What can I do to reduce my risk of getting skin cancer? Avoid sunburn. The sun is awesome; we need vitamin D to maintain our body’s systemic health, however, we need to be smart. Slip, slop, slap; slide on your sunnies, and seek shade if you find yourself longer than a few short minutes in the sun. If you can avoid sun damage, you can prevent 95% of melanomas from forming on your skin. What is the single most important thing I can do? Get a regular skin cancer check! Melanoma looks like a mole, though unlike a mole, melanoma will usually grow larger and more irregular in shape and colour . Checking your skin for Melanoma is peace of mind, and this is priceless. What Is Involved in a Skin Cancer Check? Medical History: Your doctor will take your medical history to assess your risk of skin cancer. Inform them of any specific moles or lesions you are concerned about. Full-Body Skin Check: The doctor will perform a thorough skin check using a dermoscope, a special magnifying tool. You will be asked to undress to your underwear (privacy screens and gowns are available). Specific Concerns: If you have concerns about moles in specific areas like the genital or breast area, please let your doctor know. Discussion: After the examination, your doctor will discuss their findings, potential treatments, and follow-up steps. Prevention Advice: You will receive advice on skin cancer prevention measures to help reduce your risk. What Is the Fee for a Skin Check? Upfront fee: $226.95 - $238.80 Medicare Rebate: $76.95 - $88.80 Out of Pocket: $150 Prices are subject to change depending on the duration and nature of the appointment, but we try to keep the out-of-pocket fee consistent. If I have suspicious moles, how much would it cost to have a skin biopsy in Melbourne? The cost for a skin biopsy varies depending on the size, complexity, and location of the spot. Typically, you can expect to pay between $150 and $250 out of pocket after the Medicare rebate for a single biopsy. Where can I get a Skin Cancer Check in Melbourne? Brunswick doctors offer Comprehensive Skin Cancer Check as well as Single skin spot check. Full Skin Cancer Check (30 mins): For multiple abnormal skin lumps or moles. Single Skin Spot Check (15 mins): For a single suspicious spot. Make an appointment with Dr Ali Sheaar or Dr. Juliana Quay , our friendly family GP with a special interest and additional training in skin cancer medicine. Many skin cancer removals or biopsies can be done on-site by our doctors. If necessary, we can refer you to specialists for further treatment.
