Breast Checks

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer for women in Australia. Research indicates that 75% of those diagnosed are woman over the age of 50. It is recommended that all women aged over 50 should schedule a mammogram once every two years as a precaution.

Women aged over 40 with a strong family history of breast cancer should also have a mammogram once every two years.

Skin Checks

A skin cancer check at EK Medical involves a thorough examination of your skin using the latest skin screening tools, including a Dermatoscope. This will help expose any current areas of concern on your skin that may need further attention.
