Description - Melanoma by Julia A. Newton Bishop

Melanoma is the most life threatening form of skin cancer, the
incidence of which has been rising in the developing world due to
its link with sun exposure. The increase in incidence had made it
imperative that clinicians managing these patients keep up-to-date
with the latest advances, allowing them to provide optimal
treatment.

As with the other Challenges books, Challenges in
Melanoma assumes a certain level of knowledge and builds on
this by discussing only areas of controversy and uncertainty in the
basic science and clinical management of the disease. Authors aim
to provide a balanced answer based on the scientific evidence, but
ultimately draw some conclusions that will be of relevance to
clinical practice.


The content is organised into three sections: aetiology; diagnosis,
screening and prevention; and management. All the chapters ask
practical and pertinent questions. The book takes a global view of
melanoma as a public health risk as well as looking at management
issues.
