Gulf Coast Cancer Centers' physician Dr. William C. Hixson will be on hand to answer any questions regarding skin cancer.
&#8220Early detection screenings and examinations can help save lives and reduce suffering from common cancers like skin cancer,” Hixson said. &#8220Because it is important to find these cancers early, we encourage these examinations by offering them to the public throughout the year.”
