Skin Cancer (Excluding Melanomas)

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of the Skin II

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 87 / 2))

Abstract

In human medicine, cancer of the skin is of outstanding importance for two reasons:

  1. 1.

    1. Among whites, epidermal cell carcinoma is by far the commenest form of malignant neoplasia, equaling in number of cases the incidence of all other cancer types combined; fortunately, skin carcinomas are also the easiest to prevent and to treat.

  2. 2.

    Human skin cancer was the first neoplastic disease shown to be caused by environmental influences.
