The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will host free skin cancer screenings from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 5 at two of its Houston-area locations.

MD Anderson in the Bay Area (Nassau Bay)
18100 St. Johns Drive, Suite 320
Free parking on site

Screenings are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis; appointments are not necessary. Copies of the screening results will be given to each participant. Should a participant need follow-up care, a list of local dermatologists will be provided.
The screening includes a full-body examination but patients are not required to undergo the complete exam. Regular screenings by a dermatologist are the best way to detect melanoma or other skin cancers early, when they are easiest to treat.
