Routine Skin Check Saves a Life!

DermSurgery Associates

One of our patients recently shared his life-saving cancer story with MD Anderson Cancer Center thanks to a quick diagnosis received at DermSurgery Associates in Houston.

During a visit with Ming Jih, MD, PhD, FAAD, she noticed a soft tissue mass on his neck and sent him to a colleague in our office that same day.  Arash Kimyai-Asadi, MD, FAAD  excised the mass that same day and was able to give the patient a diagnosis.

Thanks to the quick thinking actions of Dr. Ming Jih and Dr. Arash Kimyai-Asadi, their patient, Dr. Meltzer, had a definitive diagnosis and was able to initiate treatment. He endured chemotherapy treatments for leukemia at MD Anderson Cancer Center and is now in remission, four years after his initial diagnosis.

We are so grateful to be part of this patient success story!
