Book Description:
The ultimate all-in-one guide to treating and diagnosing skin cancer
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.

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.
