Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- Skin Cancer Doctors (http://www.skin-cancer-doctors.com) provides helpful information about actinic keratoses (AKs), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma to skin cancer patients from the source they trust most - dermatologists.

Launched in May in honor of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Skin Cancer Doctors is committed to providing up to date information about skin cancer prevention and treatment options directly from skin care experts.

The Skin Cancer Doctors online community is part of the FromYourDoctor (http://www.fromyourdoctor.com) patient education service from Vivacare (http://www.vivacare.com). The FromYourDoctor service enables physicians to easily create their own customizable health information resource for their medical practice, including a Patient Education Library with patient handouts and clinical images, and a Patient eNewsletter.

Physicians use the service to reinforce key clinical messages that may be forgotten during office appointments. The Skin Cancer Doctors website highlights those dermatologists that use the FromYourDoctor service who have written particularly helpful information for their patients regarding skin cancer.

Dr. Jeffrey Ellis, M.D., Director of Dermatological Surgery at North Shore/ Long island Jewish Hospital and in private practice at Belaray Dermatology in Plainview, NY uses the FromYourDoctor service as a tool to publish information about actinic keratoses (http://dermatology.fromyourdoctor.com/new_york/plainview/belaray/health/topic.do?title=Actinic+Keratoses&t=2151) (AKs), a common precancerous skin condition.

"Skin Cancer Doctor's goal is to help dermatologists help their patients," says Mark Becker, M.D., founder of Vivacare. "We are pleased to be helping dermatologists get the word out regarding the risks of skin cancer, skin cancer treatment options, and the importance of skin cancer prevention," said Dr. Becker.

People seeking dermatologists in their area who are qualified to diagnose and treat skin cancer may wish to refer to Vivacare's Find a Dermatologist (www.findadermatologist.com) resource.

About Skin Cancer

Skin cancer occurs when skin cells start growing abnormally, causing cancerous growths. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Melanoma is the least common but most dangerous form of skin cancer. Almost all skin cancers start as a small, low-risk lesions, but can grow and become high-risk lesions if left untreated. There is a chance of a complete cure when skin cancer is detected before it has spread to surrounding tissues. Recommended treatment options depend primarily on the type, size and location of the skin cancer, but may include topical medications, such as Aldara and 5-FU, or dermatologic procedures such as cryotherapy or Mohs Surgery.
