Clifton - Skin Cancer Treatment Capital of the U.S.

By Burt Safer | Dealer staff writer

CLIFTON - This month's Journal of Cancer declared Cincinnati's Clifton area "the skin cancer treatment capital of the United States". Skin cancer has become a growing epidemic in Cincinnati, judging by the number of skin cancer treatment centers in Clifton. On the bright side, the Mayura Clinic is conveniently located right across the street from a tanning salon.

Although there are several hospitals in Clifton that provide skin cancer treatment, it is the ten small skin cancer clinics peppered throughout the Clifton area that have cemented Clifton's status as the place to go for a harsh case of Chana Melanoma or Aloo Carcinoma.

Just what the Doctor ordered:
The Apna Clinic's "Aloo Gobi" Therapy

Large crowds regularly converge on esteemed clinics like Ambar, where medical care and service have received high ratings. Many skin cancer patients in Cincinnati have strong opinions about which clinic is the best. It is often hard to keep track, since a new clinic emerges every month or so.

In the Clifton area there are currently about 75 residents per skin cancer treatment center. Doctors categorize their patients by the severity of their condition, which is measured on a scale of 1 to 6. (1 is a mild sunburn - 6, is a searing, blistering mess).
