Controversies in the Treatment of Skin Neoplasias
8th International Symposium on Special Aspects of Radiotherapy, Berlin,
September 2004
A valuable update for dermatologists and radiation oncologists

Based on the 8th International Symposium on Special Aspects of Radiotherapy
held in Berlin in 2004, this volume discusses current controversial topics in
the management of skin neoplasias with special emphasis on radiotherapeutic and
dermatologic strategies. Following an interdisciplinary approach, it presents
the latest diagnostic and therapeutic developments for cutaneous lymphoma,
basal and squamous cell carcinomas, and malignant melanoma. Two further
chapters focus on more uncommon tumors such as Kaposi뭩 sarcoma and Merkel cell
carcinoma. A detailed overview of skin reactions to radiotherapy is given, and
new trends in staging procedures are discussed .

In summary, this book will not only be a valuable update for dermatologists and
radiation oncologists, but will also provide useful insights for anyone
involved in the care of patients with skin neoplasias.
