Testing for cancer

Jeremy S. is seeking a dermatologist with a lot of experience working with Caucasians. Being exceptionally light-skinned, he has been told by dermatologists in America that he needs six-monthly check-ups to catch any possible cancer early.

There are two clinics in central Tokyo specializing in dermatology ("hifu-ku") that Jeremy may find helpful.

The Tagaki Skin Clinic (Tagaki Kuriniku Shibuya) is at 3F Kuken Building, 36-1 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; (03) 3462-2807. Dr. Chieko McKinstrey says she has lots of experience in dealing with Caucasian skin problems. Also, she speaks excellent English. E-mail her at [email protected]
