Skin Cancer Foundation<\/a> recommends annual skin cancer screenings for early detection of skin cancer and growths at the highest risk for transformation into cancer. Golden State Dermatology offers screenings and exam services, as well as a state-of-the-art laboratory where our very own world-class dermatopathologists analyze skin samples with a quick turnaround. An earlier diagnosis assures a timely treatment.<\/span><\/p>\nAt Golden State Dermatology we offer patient-tailored, state-of-the-art services for the management of skin growths at the highest risk for transformation into cancer. These include liquid nitrogen treatments and blue light therapy, along with other specialized creams and supplements.<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, in the case where cancer is detected, we have skilled dermatological and Mohs surgeons who can effectively treat you in a timely manner. Mohs surgery involves cutting away thin layers of skin in the area where cancer was detected and looking for signs of cancer until there safely are no signs. The goal of Mohs surgery is to remove all of the cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue around it. This is especially recommended in areas of the body that show the most, such as the face and chest. With more Mohs surgeons on our team than ever before, we can provide this service within a reasonable distance from all of our clinics.<\/span><\/p>\nCancer Prevention Awareness All Year Long<\/span><\/h3>\nWhile a cancer diagnosis is never good, skin cancer does have an excellent survival rate when caught early. At Golden State Dermatology, we prioritize the health of every patient. We are here to help when it comes to the prevention and treatment of skin cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 40 percent of all cancers diagnosed and nearly half of all cancer deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to preventable causes, according to the American Association for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[11,9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
