In a senior center, Isaac has set up a temporary stand in which he is running free skin cancer screenings. Sometimes it is hard for seniors to identify moles or growths that are cancerous, or they are reluctant to see a dermatologist on top of their other physicians. Isaac’s stand offers quick exams for free. If he and his assistant find possible skin cancer, he encourages the patient to make an appointment to have it removed if it cannot be taken care of on the spot. This prevents skin cancer from progressing to the point where it could potentially be deadly. What type of preventative medicine is Isaac promoting?

Isaac is promoting early detection and prevention of skin cancer.
