For skin cancer screening in our clinic, we use modern methods such as digital computer-assisted photo documentation (Fotofinder) and microscopy to record birthmarks and analyze them systematically. We also have the option of analyzing recorded birthmarks using artificial intelligence. The so-called «Moleanalyzer» can evaluate recorded birthmarks using an algorithm and calculate a second opinion.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Germany. 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.

For this reason, the general recommendation is to carry out skin cancer screening regularly every one to two years.

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.
