Moffitt's Mole Patrol® skin cancer screening program travels to venues around Florida to offer free skin cancer screenings and cancer education to the public. In its 12 years of operation, the Mole Patrol® has screened thousands of Floridians, identifying hundreds of suspicious skin lesions that have resulted in the diagnosis of melanoma, basal and squamous cell cancers. Screenings are provided free of charge to the public and are conducted by medical doctors in an area that allows for some measure of privacy when needed. Some of the physicians, nurses and Mole Patrol® support staff are based at Moffitt, while others come from its affiliate institutions and practices in the community. If suspicious lesions are found, patients leave the screening area with specific follow-up instructions that should be taken to their primary physician. In addition, participants receive educational information about skin cancer prevention and early detection and often receive free sunscreen samples and other related giveaways.
