Summer is Coming

Hello all,

I would like to take this opportunity to give you a reminder that now is a very good time to have a skin check done, just as summer is beginning and many of you will have greater sun exposure over the next few months.

As you will see from the information on my web page, ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure is a major cause of skin cancer in Australia. We have one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and very sadly melanoma, one of the most dangerous types of skin cancer, is quite common, and is one of the deadliest cancers in the country. It the second biggest killer of young people in Australia (only below accidents and emergency), and kills more young people than any other cancer.

Auspoint Skin Cancer and Health Clinic

Hi, I’m Dr Shirley Liu, the principal doctor of Auspoint Skin Cancer and Health Clinic, in Como, Western Australia. We have recently opened, and are proud to have a very beautiful and welcoming clinic. The walls are decorated with artistically designed green and brown maple leaves, which represents recovery and life.

We take a holistic approach to skin damage would love to have you come and see us. Over the last few months since we opened I have seen many familiar faces of people who I have treated over the years, and who have followed and supported me during this time.

Many aspects of melanoma were considered, including: the prognostic value of nomograms incorporating biomarkers in patients with melanoma; genetic testing in melanoma, management of metastatic melanoma; development of new melanoma drugs; machine intelligence and decision support in melanoma recognition; stress-induced drug resistance in melanoma, amongst many other very important topics

2016 Australasian Skin Cancer Congress

A very important meeting that I recently attended was the 2016 Australasian Skin Cancer Congress.

At this congress many very significant aspect of skin cancer were considered, including: the changing landscape of melanoma reporting; the management of metastatic melanoma: personalised approach to treating melanoma with radiotherapy; biological pathways to melanoma; dermoscopic correlations with histology; possible cures for melanoma; gamma knife radio surgery for melanoma brain metastasis;  side effects of targeted melanoma therapy; sentinel lymph node biopsy; adjuvant systemic therapy for melanoma, amongst many more very important topics.

Sun Damage Revision

Sun exposure can cause collagen damage, decreased collagen production and DNA damage in the skin. This can lead to an aged appearance, presenting with wrinkles, pigmentation, altered skin texture, redness, dilated veins, amongst many other changes.
