Cutaneous Melanoma-5판

The Classic Text � Expanded, Updated � More Authoritative Than Ever!
Cutaneous Melanoma is the definitive and most authoritative textbook on melanoma used worldwide. This 5th edition
provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive information needed for the clinical management and scientific study of
melanoma. Written by the leading melanoma experts from the United States, Australia, and Europe, this new edition
collectively incorporates the clinical outcomes of more than 60,000 patients treated at major melanoma centers
throughout the world.

Comprehensive Coverage � From Prevention to Advanced Treatment
This new Edition provides in-depth coverage, ranging from precursors of melanoma to advanced stages of metastatic
disease; from melanoma genes to population-based epidemiology; and from prevention of melanoma to all forms of
multidisciplinary treatments. Basic principles of diagnosis and pathologic examination are combined with treatment
approaches for the many clinical presentations. Clinical management is supported by statistical data about natural
history, prognosis, and treatment results. The latest information on staging and prognosis, as well as randomized
prospective clinical trials involving surgical treatment and systemic treatments is included. This volume presents a
balanced perspective of the risks and benefits involved in each treatment modality. The book also contains 1) a
comprehensive color atlas of melanoma and its precursors, 2) illustrated surgical and perfusion techniques for every
stage and anatomic location of melanoma, and 3) complex genetic and molecular pathways involving melanoma biology.
Every drug and biologic agent in use today is described with indications and efficacy.

Entirely Revised and Updated
Seven new chapters discuss the emerging clinical data on the use of biomarkers, adjuvant therapies, targeted therapies,
and immune modulation as well as significant clinical research advances in the clinical management of melanoma. The
remaining 37 chapters have been extensively updated and revised to include the latest clinical, radiological, and
pathological data and clinical trial advances.

Cutaneous Melanoma, 5th Edition retains the logical organization and clarity of expression responsible for its enduring
popularity over the last 23 years. This volume will become an invaluable part of your library and a trusted resource
that you will refer to again and again.
