'A trim yet comprehensive, elegantly organized text that will prove invaluable for medical educators, physicians across all specialities, patients, and their loved ones alike. The authors have performed an act of alchemy, providing in one neat volume a swift read, an everything-you-needed-to-know manual on skin cancer, and a state-of-the-art reference source that should never leave one's desk. Full of fascinating facts on the origins, development, disgnosis, treatment, and prevention of the world's most common cancer, the book is immensely enhanced by crystal clear photos, helpful charts, graphs, and other visual aids, an excellent glossary, and a 'Key points' summary at the end of each chapter that hammers the most important messages home' --Perry Robins, MD, President and Founder, The Skin Cancer Foundation
