Description
This book has been written to clarify the current ideas on managing the three common types of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell and malignant melanoma. Priority is given to the principles of treatment but technical aspects are also explored, with an emphasis on appropriateness for the different modalities. All the contributors to the book are involved in busy clinical practices and deal with hundreds of cases of skin cancer each year. Skin Cancer also touches on personality factors in treatment, a subject that sometimes escapes notice but can have a profound impact on modality selection. Dermatologists and oncologists will turn to this handy reference again and again.
