Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This is an outstanding reference that thoroughly explains dysfunctional molecular pathways causing the development of skin cancer. … The audience is dermatologists and any medical care professionals involved in treating patients with skin cancers. … This book is a gem. Every page should be studied.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2015)Authors and Affiliations
