As we know from numerous studies, the effective use of dermoscopy by trained and experienced clinicians markedly improves diagnostic accuracy and reduces the number of unnecessary excisions of skin lesions. The Definitive Guide to Dermoscopy and Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Skin Lesions is based on the Health Cert online Professional Diploma of Dermoscopy developed in collaboration with the International Dermoscopy Society (IDS).
Featuring real patient case studies, thousands of illustrations and practical advice on skin cancer diagnosis and treatment, this comprehensive reference is a true “Dermoscopy Bible” comprising the extensive expertise of the 14 most influential experts and global pioneers in Dermoscopy.
Aimed at primary care practitioners, skin cancer specialists, dermatologists and any medical professional with an interest in skin cancer medicine or general dermatology, this 540-page guide provides the substantial knowledge required to diagnose a wide range of lesions on any body part, skin type and patient group.
