The editor of Skin Cancer Management: A Practical Approach, Dr. Deborah MacFarlane, gathers experts in selected techniques related to the assessment and management of skin cancer and has them critically review the existing literature in light of their considerable experience delivering care. The authors make recommendations for the best way to perform procedures. The tables provided in each chapter then become a manual of how to perform these procedures, and may in time be adopted by the wider universe of dermatologists as the standard of performance. The detailed descriptions of technique and treatment pearls lead the novice through the sequence of events in a way that instills confidence in their ability to safely perform the procedure. An example of the painstaking expla- tions is found in Chapter 5, Intralesional and Perilesional Treatment of Skin Cancers. The reader is advised to place eye protection on the patient and those performing the injection of methotrexate into a keratoacanthoma with a central crust. Rest assured that there will be a spray or stream of methotrexate emitted from the crusted area. Having eye protection will prevent methotrexate from accidentally getting into someone’s eye. Since we all learn to assimilate new information by taking action on the recommendations that we read, it would be a good idea for the physician to create, where relevant, a checklist for each procedure in the text. The checklist can be given to the office staff to set up the equipment for the procedure.

Skin cancers are the cancers arising from the skin, caused due to an abnormal development of cells, which invade and spread to other parts of the body. These are of three main types, squamous-cell skin cancer, basal-cell skin cancer and melanoma. Melanomas are aggressive cancers. Symptoms vary as per the underlying cancer and may include a painless raised area of skin, a color or shape change in a mole, etc. More than 90% of all cases of skin cancer are caused due to an exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Its diagnosis is done based on a histopathological examination and through a biopsy. The treatment of skin cancer is designed based on the location of the cancer, the type of cancer and the age of the person. Whether the cancer is primary or a recurrence also determines the treatment modality. Radiation therapy, topical chemotherapy, cryotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy may be used for the management of skin cancer. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of skin cancer. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied diagnostic and management strategies of skin cancer. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.

The skin, uniquely positioned at the interface between the human body and the external world, plays a multifaceted role in the expression of cancer. Primary skin cancer is the most common cancer afflicting mankind and is rising in inci dence, despite the fact that it is often preventable. Besides primary cancer, the skin may show direct and indirect evidence of internal cancer, thus serving as a window to the body for both laymen and physicians alike. In addition, the acces sibility of the skin is useful for the study of carcinogenesis as well as cancer treat ment options. lowe much of my interest in skin cancer to Dr. Leon Goldman, the father of dermatologic laser surgery, and to Dr. Edmund Klein, the father of modern immunotherapy.
