High-Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-56891-0 (ISBN)
This book is a cutting-edge resource that provides clinicians with the up-to-date practical knowledge required in order to manage SCC patients optimally. It summarizes newly available information relating to the definition of high-risk SCC, its pathophysiologic underpinnings, and its management. New prognostic information and staging systems are summarized that enable high-risk tumors to be defined more precisely than ever before. Many helpful tips are provided on the practical management of challenging cases, including multiple tumors/field cancerization, high-risk tumors, nodal metastases, and unresectable disease. The authors are all acknowledged experts in the emerging field of high-risk and advanced SCC.

"This book explores the immune and epigenetic mechanisms responsible for the development of squamous cell carcinoma. ... The audience is dermatologists and oncologists. ... When faced with a patient with a high-risk squamous cell carcinoma, this is the reference to turn to for the most up-to-date, multidisciplinary approach."
