More than 8,500 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, making it the most common of all cancers in the United States. In fact, research suggests that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
The prevalence of this disease keeps Dr. Jamie McGinness, a specialist in skin cancer treatment and Mohs micrographic surgery at Springfield Clinic, incredibly busy. His medical practice, which once included general dermatology, has evolved exclusively to skin cancer surgery.
