Skin Health Sensor

Early detection of skin cancer is particularly important

Usually, skin cancer is comparatively easy to diagnose and, if diagnosed early, can be treated well. However, the tumors often develop inconspicuously at first and only cause discomfort once the skin cancer has spread.

Regular preventive examinations are therefore useful and can help to detect not only white but also particularly dangerous black skin cancer in good time and to take the necessary treatment measures.

Causes of skin cancer

Skin cancer is caused in particular by excessive UV radiation. For this reason, people who work outdoors are particularly at risk. In the construction industry, it is even recognized as an occupational disease.

However, genetic factors also play a significant role in the individual risk of developing skin cancer. An analysis of the relevant genetic variations in this context, such as we carry out in the context of our Skin Health Sensor, is therefore often useful.

How our Skin Health Sensor works

For our Skin Health Sensor, our laboratory analyses the sample obtained and examines a total of 18 genetic variations associated with the development of white or black skin cancer.

Based on the findings, we can determine the patient’s genetic skin cancer risk. In addition, we evaluate the efficacy of 27 drugs based on their genetic profile.

After a successful genetic analysis, we prepare a written evaluation with all results as well as individual recommendations for prevention.

In this way, our Skin Health Sensor can help to reduce the risk of skin cancer and detect a possible disease at an early stage.
