Understanding Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC): A Comprehensive Guide

Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) encompasses various skin tumors, including Actinic Keratoses, Squamous Cell Carcinomas, and Basal Cell Carcinomas. The increasing incidence of these tumors is a significant epidemiological and socio-medical problem, particularly among the aging population and immunosuppressed individuals who have suffered from chronic sun damage.

The malignancy of these neoplasms is generally lower compared to Malignant Melanoma. However, it’s essential to understand the clinic, clinical peculiarities, histologically relevant points, pathogenesis, classification, and staging of each entity to provide effective diagnosis and treatment.

Comprehensive Overview of NMSC Entities

This book is divided into three comprehensive chapters, each covering a specific entity in detail. The chapters include:

• Clinical presentation and characteristics
• Histologically relevant points and diagnostic criteria
• Pathogenesis and classification
• Staging and treatment options, including the latest research and evidence-based recommendations
• Current developments and updates on each tumor entity

The book provides a thorough understanding of NMSC, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions for their patients. By covering the clinical, histological, and therapeutic aspects of each entity, this guide serves as a valuable resource for dermatologists, oncologists, and healthcare providers.
