Cutaneous Melanoma: Etiology and Therapy by William H. Ward, MD and Jeffrey M. Farma, MD - 2018

Cutaneous Melanoma: Etiology and Therapy, edited by William H. Ward, MD and Jeffrey M. Farma, MD from Fox Chase Cancer Center, USA, gathers a diverse and accomplished group of authors with expertise in both clinical and scientific aspects of melanoma development, diagnosis, and treatment. An exhaustive review of the entire spectrum of cutaneous melanoma is presented, including its epidemiologic background, diagnostic strategies, updated treatment approaches, and long-term management.
Many of the therapeutic options developed in recent years have generated newfound enthusiasm among clinicians caring for patients with advanced disease. However, proper workup at the time of initial diagnosis is paramount, and patient outcomes can definitively suffer if the appropriate staging is compromised. As such, clinicians involved in the diagnosis or treatment of cutaneous melanoma must be familiar with the importance of available screening options, methods of clinical or histologic diagnosis, and the staging ramifications of disease discovery. This book provides a robust review of each of these elements and is recommended to anyone involved in the study or treatment of cutaneous melanoma. The book, published by Codon Publications, Brisbane, Australia, will be a valuable resource for libraries, health care professionals, researchers and students.
