Skin cancers are the most common malignancy in the Western world and in Australia, with rates increasing faster than any other cancer. This new, richly illustrated title from the successful ABC series provides a concise, substantive, and practical overview of skin cancers and precancerous lesions. It is written by experts in the field, with chapters dedicated to the three major skin cancers - melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma - and their differential diagnosis. Special emphasis is placed on diagnostic pitfalls, allowing physicians to confidently differentiate between benign and malignant skin lesions. The book describes management based on best practices in primary health care, while also covering the Australian perspective on this group of cancers. Other areas covered include prevention, surgical and non-surgical treatments, and rare forms of skin cancer.

ABC Skin Cancer will be a valuable resource for a wide readership, including general practitioners, specialist surgeons and dermatologists, clinical practice nurses, specialized nurses, and medical students.

Each book in the ABC series follows the same structure, using a problem-based approach with the presentation of specific cases and systematic guidance of the reader regarding the composition of the provided information.

The multi-volume ABC series, covering a wide range of medical topics as well as issues of general interest, has become globally recognized as one of the most important tools for everyday clinical practice, gaining the trust of students and physicians of all specialties.
