Description
One person is estimated to die every hour from skin cancer, and the incidence rate of skin cancer is increasing worldwide. A large number of deaths from skin cancer are preventable if the problem is diagnosed early enough. "Cancer of the Skin" provides a comprehensive overview of skin cancers, from their underlying biology to the clinical features of disease, diagnosis and therapy. The book has been created by a multi-disciplinary, international team of some of world's leading experts on this important topic. Containing over 800 full-colour images, "Cancer of the Skin" focuses in particular on the importance of early diagnosis and the use of new treatment therapies in skin cancers. Each copy of the book also contains a CD-ROM including all the colour images from the text, which can be used as slide images for presentations. An essential purchase for any physician diagnosing and treating skin cancer, Cancer of the Skin will be an invaluable resource.
