October 5, 2022 - In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery clinics are offering complimentary skin cancer screenings to breast cancer patients and survivors. The national initiative hopes to raise awareness about the link between breast cancer and melanoma. Advanced Dermatology operates 11 clinics across the Tampa Bay region, including two offices in St. Petersburg. According to Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark Kaufmann, breast cancer patients are 2.5 times more likely to develop melanoma. Conversely, those with melanoma have a greater chance of developing breast cancer. For more information, visit the website here.
