Ukrainian Oncologist Warns of Melanoma Dangers: Early Detection is Key

A Ukrainian oncologist, onkology_tur, has released a short video warning about the dangers of melanoma. Melanoma, a highly aggressive form of skin cancer, is often mistaken for a harmless skin growth. "Melanoma is the most aggressive of all oncological diseases," says the doctor in the video. He shows an image of a typical melanoma and emphasizes that early detection is crucial for successful treatment. The oncologist urges anyone with a similar-looking skin lesion to immediately consult a dermatologist or oncologist for a dermatoscopy. This simple procedure can help determine whether the lesion is cancerous and prevent the spread of the disease. The video highlights the importance of public awareness and early intervention in combating skin cancer.
