Reviews
“Delivering exactly what it promises, this book condenses the latest therapies for treating skin cancers into excellent summaries without an exhaustive review of studies. The information is practical and appropriate for clinical dermatologists. … What is very appealing is the directness of the writing and the lack of ambiguity in treatment recommendations. … Why anyone would hesitate to read this book is a mystery.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2018)
