The ability to diagnose melanomas and ensure that they are properly
and swiftly treated can save lives.
The latter part of this century has witnessed a rise in the
incidence of this life-threatening form of skin cancer, which is
linked to sun exposure. Public health campaigns have begun to raise
awareness of the problem and people are now seeking medical advice
about pigmented lesions. The reader is guided through the diagnosis
and differential diagnosis with the aid of full color photographs,
and there is a guide to interpreting the pathology report.
