One Step Closer to a Cure for Cancer-Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The UNM School of Medicine is addressing long wait times for dermatologists in New Mexico by hosting free skin cancer screening clinics on May 10th. No insurance or appointments are required for the screenings at the UNM Hospital Dermatology Clinic in Albuquerque and the UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center in Rio Rancho. Utilizing tools like a dermatoscope, dermatologists will examine any patient skin concerns, focusing on signs of melanoma using the ABCDE (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolution) criteria. While many lesions may appear concerning, most are benign, providing reassurance to patients. Attendees are encouraged to use sunscreen and monitor their skin.
