About this atlas
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.
