Definition
Programs that conduct skin screenings to detect early signs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma or other abnormalities; or which evaluate the amount of sun damage an individual has received, often using a "black light" which shows layers of damage in different colors. People with suspicious skin lesions are referred for biopsies to determine whether cancer is present and for subsequent treatment, if required.
