Opis

Although Melanoma is explored fully in the medical literature, and there are many respectable resources available, this text will become the standard reference on the disease. The level of scholarship, comprehensive coverage of treatment of all aspects of the disease, accessibility, and especially its focus, sets this book a part. The book presents the latest information on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of this increasingly common type of cancer. Expert contributors profile everything from prevention strategies to gene therapy. Fully illustrated with color photographs and commissioned graphics, this volume is an important reference.
