What are the ABCDEs used to recognize early signs of melanoma? 

Finding a melanoma at an early stage is critical for a successful outcome. The Skin Cancer Foundation statistics show that the 5-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma gets diagnosed early is 99%. That number drops to 68% if the cancer reaches the lymph nodes and 30% if it spreads to distant organs. Using the first five letters of the alphabet to recognize signs of melanoma is an excellent way of remembering what to look for. The ABCDEs of melanoma stand for: 

  • Asymmetry – an asymmetric spot in the body means that one half of the spot doesn’t match the other half.
  • Border – the border of the spot is irregular.
  • Color – the spot has two or more colors to it.
  • Diameter – the diameter of the spot is larger than the end of a pencil eraser.
  • Evolving – an existing spot that starts to change or evolve. 

Importance of Early Detection 

Early detection is important for any cancer, not just skin cancer, because when cancer is identified in its early stages, successful treatment and a cure are far more likely. This makes it extremely important to keep up with all our preventative health screening exams, such as an annual skin exam. One thing that makes skin cancer unique is that it is something that we can see, making it easier for us to help in early diagnosis. 

Top Tips to Avoid Skin Cancer 

The best way to prevent skin cancer is to avoid the sun. However, this is not always practical. We all enjoy spending time outside or doing outdoor activities. UV protective clothing and hats are a good option, as is seeking shade when possible. Sunscreens with UVA and UVB protection of 30 SPF or higher are essential to apply every day, no matter the weather.

COMPASSIONATE EXpertise, exceptional outcomes: skin cancer care that puts patients first

At Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia, we are proud to be home to a Double-Board-Certified Mohs Surgeon whose skill, precision, and dedication to patient outcomes represent the highest standard of care in skin cancer treatment. With skin cancer affecting nearly 9,500 Americans daily, access to expert care isn’t just important, it’s essential. 

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the most effective treatment for many types of skin cancer, offering cure rates as high as 99% while preserving healthy tissue. It’s a meticulous, layer-by-layer approach that requires both surgical expertise and specialized pathology knowledge. That’s why having a Fellowship-Trained, Double Board-Certified Surgeon on our team is a vital resource for our patients and our community. 

Delivering best-in-class care is not just a solo effort. It’s a shared mission that our entire team rallies behind. From the moment a patient walks through our doors to the follow-up care they receive after surgery, our Dermatology Providers, Certified Nurse Practitioners, and support staff work together to ensure every patient feels informed, supported, and genuinely cared for. 

We believe that excellent outcomes begin with compassionate care and early detection. As skin cancer rates continue to rise in the U.S., our team remains united in its commitment to prevention, education, and personalized treatment. 

If you’re a Dermatology Provider who shares our dedication to teamwork, clinical excellence, and community care, we invite you to join us. Be part of a collaborative team making a difference – one patient at a time. Let’s talk!
