"This all-inclusive textbook contains the most comprehensive, up-to-date and detailed information on any topic related to skin cancer....It could serve as the main resource for any physician for years to come."--Perry Robins, MD, President, Skin Cancer Foundation (from the foreword)

Comprehensive in scope, yet precise in its approach, this superbly illustrated text is a must-have clinical companion for any dermatology practice. Skin Cancer carefully takes you through every important step in the diagnosis and clinical management of skin cancer conditions.

Skin Cancer begins with an incisive discussion of both normal and aging skin, and the incidences and causes of skin cancer. Next, you'll get a thorough look at all types of skin cancer--followed by a section on treating cancer in various patient populations, including non-white populations, children, and pregnant women. The book concludes with in-depth sections on skin cancer prevention--covering critical topics such as skin cancer vaccines and chemoprevention of skin cancer--in addition to the medicolegal and economic issues related to skin cancer.
