Skin health sensor
Skin cancer is characterised by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, caused by unrepaired DNA damage. Although skin cancer can theoretically be visible on the skin, some tumours develop in inconspicuous, hidden areas, causing symptoms only after they have already spread throughout the body. There are three main types of skin cancer:
- Squamous cell carcinoma – planocellular carcinoma
- Basal cell carcinoma – basocellular carcinoma
- Melanoma

Most squamous and basal cell carcinomas grow relatively slowly and can be removed surgically. Melanomas pose the greatest risk and affect people of all ages, races and both sexes.
In addition to excessive exposure to UV radiation, the main risk factor for skin cancer, genetic factors play a very important role in skin cancer progression. Individuals with an increased number of ordinary skin moles (50 or more), atypical moles (just 1 is enough or sun-sensitive skin that burns easily have a very high risk of developing skin cancer.
Why choose the skin health sensor?
The skin health sensor analyses 18 genetic variations associated with the development of all types of skin cancer. When considered together, these genetic variations can have a significant effect on the likelihood of developing the disease.
Find out how much your genetic variations affect your risk of developing:
a. Malignant melanoma
b. Benign skin cancer
The skin health sensor also provides an assessment of the effectiveness and recommended doses of the 27 most common medicines.
Example of a drug response result:
Cisplatin Effect: Normal. Degradation: Absent. Recommendation: Change the medicine.
The test in brief:
1. Analysis of 18 relevant genetic variations.
2. Determining individual risk of developing skin cancer
3. Assessing the effectiveness of the 27 most common medicines.
4. Written interpretation of results and individual prevention recommendations.
