Your Academy is a series of in-person symposiums and online educational events that are focused on core and emerging dermatology and dermatopathology topics. The goal is to improve each physician and clinician's clinicopathologic correlation which leads to better patient management. About It is now more important than ever to understand the importance of the close cross-fertilization that occurs among dermatology, dermatopathology, and industry. In order to plan optimal treatment and provide the best patient care, correlation between dermatologists and pathologists is crucial. In this ever-changing field, clinicopathologic correlation also helps to guide research, new drugs, and device product development within dermatology. We hope you will join us at one of our upcoming conferences or events! Clay J.

Skin cancer epidemic.Cockerell Dermatopathology: Committed to Excellence < Back Cockerell Dermatopathology: Committed to Excellence Brand McCarley Feb 18, 2022 Skin cancer epidemic. There is an epidemic of skin cancer in the United States and Texas has one of the highest rates of incidence. Statistically one person dies each hour from skin cancer and melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. When your doctor, usually a dermatologist, suspects that a lesion might be skin cancer, they perform a minor surgical procedure to obtain a skin biopsy for diagnosis. It is very important that the skin biopsy diagnosis be accurate so that your doctor can formulate the best possible treatment plan. While most patients think a lab is just a lab, there can be a significant quality difference of the diagnostic abilities between laboratories. Dermatopathologists are highly trained physicians who examine tissue specimens under a microscope, use the medical information shared by the doctor and consult with him or her as necessary. This personal service and collaboration between your doctor and dermatopathologists helps ensure the most accurate diagnosis. In today’s ever changing healthcare environment, patients now have more control over their healthcare choices. When it comes to diagnosing skin, hair and nail disorders, Clay J. Cockerell, MD has personally diagnosed over three million specimens and annually renders over 5,000 expert consultations for other pathologists. Dr. Cockerell and his team of dermatopathologists conduct daily case reviews, which allow multiple dermatopathologists to review difficult cases. Dr. Cockerell also sees patients and evaluates clinical pictures of skin disorders as do the dermatopathologists who work for him as they have training in both dermatology and pathology. Patients have a choice when it comes to who they want to evaluate their biopsy and they can request that it be sent to Cockerell Dermatopathology. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT CLAY J.
