Fully updated and revised, the fourth edition is a highly effective guide to dermatological diagnosis in the surgery or clinic. This book covers the process of diagnosing a skin disease, the basic biology of skin, history taking, describing skin lesions and carrying out special investigations.
Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer is written by Prof. Cliff Rosendahl, one of our generous donors. This handbook will help all dermatoscopists easily differentiate between benign and malignant tumours, leading to fewer unnecessary biopsies and earlier treatment of cancers.
