Dr. Travis Kidner
Dr. Travis Kidner, a surgical oncologist at the Rox Cancer Center (Beverly Hills) who recently survived a Stage I melanoma, has two words of advice: if you started tanning at a young age, “get checked!”
This Wednesday October 2nd, Dr Kidner will take his message to the national hit show The Doctors (Los Angeles: KCAL9,5pm; New York WLNY10, 5pm; for other cities, check Local Listings on thedoctorstv.com). Dr. Drew Ordon is a host of The Doctors and also a member of the Rox Cancer Center.
In early August, Dr Kidner published an Op-Ed on the Los Angeles Times (http://goo.gl/rdVIjL), where he described laying at the same operating table where he has removed so many cancers from others. In an emotional and science-based plea, he also urged the FDA to tighten the regulations on tanning beds, adding warning labels to prevent young people from using them.
“As a surgical oncologist, I”m usually the one delivering the bad news. But this time I was the recipient,” Dr. Kidner told “The Doctors.”
