The treatment of skin cancer has become an increasingly multidisciplinary practice. Ongoing surgical
and postsurgical advances, as well as emergent factors that predispose patients to these tumors, have
changed the treatment paradigm. A keen understanding of diagnostic, surgical, and nonsurgical
treatment options is key to identifying, treating, or referring patients with potential cutaneous
malignancies.
While this textbook is the first of its kind to emphasize surgical management of skin cancer, several
sections are devoted to systemic nonsurgical therapies affecting patient care and surgical
intervention. Topics encompassed within this book include prevention, diagnosis, medication
management, appropriate margin size, reconstruction methods, and the importance of stellar
dermatopathology
