Saving your skin...and your life
Fair-skinned, fair-haired Robert Mansell grew up in Australia, where sunshine is plentiful. He spent much of his youth outside. In 1988, he was diagnosed with skin cancer. He is now a regular patient at Stanford Hospital & Clinics Department of Dermatology. At Stanford, Mansell saw a specialist in one of the most effective treatments for basal cell carcinoma, the kind of skin cancer that has emerged many times on Mansell’s body in the last 15 years.
