Can Your Hairdresser Detect Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer is now the most common form of cancer affecting humans worldwide, with majority of these lesions developing on the head an neck.

Dermatologists and physicians should not wait for patients with skin cancer to come in when it may be too late! We need to use outreach methods to improve early detection of head and neck melanomas and capitalize on the unique relationship hairdressers have with their clients.
