Why Early Detection Matters
Skin Cancer Is Highly Treatable When Caught Early
In Texas — where UV exposure is intense year-round — skin cancer rates are among the highest in the nation. The good news: when detected early, most skin cancers are curable. That's why regular screenings aren't just recommended — they're essential.
- Annual skin exams are recommended for everyone, especially those with a history of sun exposure or family history of skin cancer
- Melanoma survival rates exceed 99% when detected early, compared to significantly lower rates when diagnosed at later stages
- Know the signs: new or changing moles, irregular borders, multiple colors, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or evolving symptoms
- Self-examinations monthly can help you track changes between professional visits — our team will show you how during your appointment
Patient Stories
What Our Patients Say About Their Experience
"I had been putting off my skin check for years, convinced it wasn't necessary. The team at South Texas Skin Cancer Center made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They caught something early that could have become a serious problem. I'm grateful every day."Robert M. Castroville, TX
"After a suspicious mole was removed, I was anxious about the results. The staff walked me through everything patiently and made sure I understood my diagnosis and next steps. That level of care is rare, and I recommend this center to everyone."Maria G. Boerne, TX
"As someone who works outdoors, I'd ignored skin changes for too long. This center changed everything for me. They educated me on sun protection, caught a pre-cancerous spot, and now I actually look forward to my annual check-ups."James T. Uvalde, TX
