Advanced Skin Cancer: A Case-Based Approach

Advanced skin cancer represents a challenging stage of disease in which cancer has spread beyond its point of origin or invaded surrounding tissues so extensively that surgical removal is no longer feasible without significant functional or cosmetic consequences. Managing these cases demands a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach, drawing on the expertise of dermatologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists.
Although national guidelines offer evidence-based frameworks for treatment, they allow flexibility so care can be tailored to the unique medical, functional, and personal needs of each patient.
This book brings together real-world patient cases to demonstrate how a multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to create the most effective, individualized treatment plans for patients with advanced skin cancer.
