Skin Cancer Medicine

 

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with 2 in 3 Australians expected to be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer before the age of 70. The good news is that when detected early, most skin cancers can be treated successfully.

Regular skin cancer checks are one of the most effective ways to detect skin cancer early and are recommended for all Australians, particularly those with fair skin, a history of significant sun exposure, or a family history of skin cancer.

Dr Gavin Williams has a particular interest in skin cancer medicine with experience in a skin cancer clinic. He has also completed extra training with the University of Queensland in Primary and Advanced Skin Cancer Surgery and Skin Cancer Medicine.

Dr Alex Williams also has a strong interest in skin cancer medicine and is committed to the early detection and management of skin cancer. He will will commence a Master of Skin Cancer Medicine at the University of Queensland in July 2026.

What to Expect

During your skin cancer check, your doctor will perform a thorough examination of your skin and discuss any areas of concern. If a suspicious spot or lesion is identified, your doctor may recommend monitoring it, performing a biopsy, or arranging its removal. These procedures can usually be performed here at the practice during a follow-up appointment with the support of our nursing team.
