Health Condition

Most importantly, if a mole is suspected to be pre-cancerous early on, it can often be completely removed before it causes a serious health risk.
During initial examination our doctor who has experience in treating moles, related skin conditions and skin cancer will help to determine if the mole is cancerous. However, the majority of moles are benign (non-cancerous) and pose no threat to one’s health.
In our center to determine if a mole is cancerous, a small portion is examined through a biopsy or microscope analysis. This piece of tissue is usually examined at a pathology lab.
