Around 300,000 people are newly diagnosed with skin cancer in Germany every year. The trend is rising. However, if this is recognized on the right time, the prognosis is favorable in most cases. Skin cancer screening offers you the opportunity to detect potential skin cancer lesions early, even before they develop to an advanced stage.<\/p><p>For this reason, the general recommendation is to carry out skin cancer screening regularly every one to two years.<\/p><p>From the age of 35, skin cancer prevention is covered by all statutory health insurance companies. Some statutory and all private health insurance companies also take over the screening under 35 years of age.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81db2b2 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"81db2b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctolib.de\/einzelpraxis\/berlin\/dermatologie-und-laserzentrum-dr-ferro?utm_campaign=website-button&#038;utm_source=dermatologie-und-laserzentrum-dr-ferro-website-button&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_content=option-8&#038;utm_term=dermatologie-und-laserzentrum-dr-ferro\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-md\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Make an appointment<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-546d9e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"546d9e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>According to estimates, over 250,000 people in Germany develop skin cancer every year.

If it has only grown 2mm in depth, it is considered to be in an advanced stage with a worse prognosis. Over the last 20 years, the number of deaths has increased by 55%. Melanoma is the most common malignant tumor in women between the ages of 20 and 30 and the second most common malignant tumor in men.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This is why regular skin cancer screening is so important.
