Welcome back to Beyond the O.R., which is honoring skin cancer awareness month with a very special episode featuring our host, Dr. Kevin Brenner and his across-the-hall colleague and collaborator – a skin cancer surgeon at the top of his game. Dr. Andrew Breithaupt of Dermatology Associates Medical Group is a specialist in Mohs surgery, a highly skilled approach to treating skin cancers that uses real-time lab results and tissue-sparing techniques with cosmetically desirable results. The two Dr. Bs are sharing important information about how you can stay on top of both skin cancer detection and that all-important prevention, including what constitutes a robust mole check, how sunscreen ingredients differ and why genetic factors (such as skin tone or eye color) deserve our attention. You’ll also come away with the ABCD and E of self-screening for anything suspicious. And when in doubt? Use the month of May as an annual reminder: Is it time for you to schedule an appointment to have a dermatologist give you a thorough screening? Listen to this episode and you’ll answer with a resounding, “Yes!”
