Cutaneous melanoma

About this book

This book spans the entire spectrum of the disease, from precursors of melanoma to advanced stages of metastatic disease, from melanoma genes to population-based epidemiology, and from prevention of melanoma to all forms of multidisciplinary treatments. It incorporates the basic principles of diagnosis and pathologic examination with treatment approaches for the disease's many clinical presentations. Each facet of clinical management is supported by statistical data about natural history, prognosis, and treatment results.
