Skin cancers are the cancers arising from the skin, caused due to an abnormal development of cells, which invade and spread to other parts of the body. These are of three main types, squamous-cell skin cancer, basal-cell skin cancer and melanoma. Melanomas are aggressive cancers. Symptoms vary as per the underlying cancer and may include a painless raised area of skin, a color or shape change in a mole, etc. More than 90% of all cases of skin cancer are caused due to an exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Its diagnosis is done based on a histopathological examination and through a biopsy. The treatment of skin cancer is designed based on the location of the cancer, the type of cancer and the age of the person. Whether the cancer is primary or a recurrence also determines the treatment modality. Radiation therapy, topical chemotherapy, cryotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy may be used for the management of skin cancer. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of skin cancer. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied diagnostic and management strategies of skin cancer. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
