An elderly Chinese lady came to see me after noticing several pigmented lesions on her face, and she was worried some of them might be down to skin cancer.
On examination, we highlighted one suspicious growth over her nose, which had been there for one to two years.
It was gradually getting bigger and recently started to bleed whenever she washed her face.
A biopsy confirmed the skin cancer and the necessary treatment was done.
This is one of the common scenarios we encounter in our clinic.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and more patients are now aware of the symptoms and seeking medical attention for new growths on their skin.

Only 20% of primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at an early stage, which makes early detection an urgent, unmet healthcare need.
Study aims to develop more accurate diagnostics for early HCC, an AI algorithm to predict an individual s risk of developing HCC, and discover novel molecular targets to prevent the development of HCC.
