Rigel (dermatology, New York U. Medical Center) et al. compile 63 chapters for physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. Dermatologists, oncologists, and other clinicians from the US, Europe, Australia, and Israel outline basic biology and epidemiology, non-melanoma, precursor lesions, melanoma and related melanocytic neoplasms, other cancers of the skin, new approaches, therapeutic considerations, and other aspects, such as indoor tanning, photography in skin cancer treatment, medical and legal aspects, and psychological responses and coping strategies. This edition has 11 new chapters on clinical genetics and genomics, targeted therapy for melanoma, the vitamin D debate about the risks and benefits of sun exposure, and other topics. Provided online are a searchable full text, image bank, and video library. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
