Dr. Steven Ouzounian will deliver a free talk on May 17 covering skin cancer types, screening, treatment, and risk reduction strategies to help attendees protect their skin.
Ouzounian highlighted the significance of raising awareness about preventing, identifying, and treating skin cancer, noting that skin cancer affects about one in every five individuals in the United States at some point during their lives.
These initiatives aim to increase community awareness about annual dermatologist screenings and vigilance over suspicious lesions to reduce skin cancer risks and improve outcomes.
