Julia Roberts' mystery mole sparks cancer fears
Julia Roberts attends the after party for the opening of "Three Days Of Rain"
'America's Sweetheart' Julia Roberts has been alarmed ever since a mysterious mole showed up on the side of her right breast during a recent photo shoot.
photographers spotted the blemish as they snapped the Pretty Woman star at a Hollywood tribute to George Clooney and now cancer experts are calling for the actress to get screened.
After seeing photos of the actress' mole Dr Christine Horner, a cancer expert and plastic surgeon in Taos, New Mexico, where Roberts has a home, told US tabloid the Globe that it would be better to remove the mole.
"I would definitely remove the mole. It is raised, pigmented and greater than a centimeter, which statistically increases the risk of it converting to malignancy,” he was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.
But Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr David Stoll insists the blemish looks as if Roberts has already had a growth removed.
"It looks like a scar from the removal of a growth," he added. (ANI)
