A practical and easy-to-use resource that will help not only
dermatologists but also primary care physicians, physician
assistants, nurses, and others to identify cancerous skin lesions
correctly Includes hundreds of high-quality color images that
illustrate all of the common cutaneous malignancies and frequent
mimickers Also presents biopsy techniques, treatment options, and
treatment complications The incidence of skin cancer has risen
rapidly in recent decades, and patients often present initially to
practitioners in many different specialties. Because skin cancer
can vary in clinical appearance, even dermatologists may experience
difficulty in reaching a clinical diagnosis. For primary care
physicians and physician extenders (physician assistants, nurses,
and nurse practitioners), who have had very little or no formal
training in dermatology, the task can be still more daunting. In
this atlas, the authors set out to provide a practical resource
that will help improve the 'visual vocabulary' of physicians and
physician extenders, helping them identify lesions that should be
biopsied. Hundreds of high-quality color images are included to
assist the reader in the task of recognition and identification.
All of the common cutaneous malignancies are illustrated, with a
number of examples of each entity and of common mimickers. In
addition, biopsy techniques and treatment options are presented in
step-by step detail with the use of high resolution clinical
images, and potential complications of treatment are discussed.
This atlas is ideal for all providers who wish to sharpen their
clinical acumen and gain confidence in identifying skin cancers.
