Cutaneous Melanoma

The vast amount of new information in this latest edition of Cutaneous Melanoma is a dramatic reflection of the increased incidence of the disease around the world. This fourth edition, written by the leading melanoma experts, collectively incorporates the clinical outcomes of more than 30,000 patients treated at major melanoma centers throughout the world. This volume spans the spectrum of the disease, from precursors of melanoma to advanced stages of metastatic disease, from melanoma genes to population-based epidemiology, and from prevention of melanoma to all forms of multidisciplinary treatments. Every clinical variation of recurrent and metastatic melanoma is addressed, with treatment options included for each clinical entity. This volume presents a balanced perspective of the risks and benefits involved in each treatment modality and how these can be optimised in various clinical settings. While every chapter is either completely new or extensively revised and updated, this fourth edition retains the logical organisation and clarity of expression responsible for its enduring popularity over the past 18 years.
