The perfect one-stop shop for the beginner in dermoscopy! Diagnosis of malignant melanoma can be significantly improved by the use of dermoscopy (also known as dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy or surface microscopy). This book clearly and concisely explains the principles of this revolutionary technique, how to perform a dermoscopy and how to interpret the results. The book uses checklists, algorithms, and brief text descriptions to convey the key messages, and contains over 375 colour dermoscopic images with clinical correlates. It has a practical emphasis throughout and is designed for quick reference. It also includes information on the common diagnostic pitfalls faced when diagnosing with dermoscopy. Written by five dermatologists with vast teaching experience, this book aims to take the mystery out of dermoscopy and make this technique accessible for all dermatologists and clinicians responsible for diagnosing skin cancer.
Dr. Argenziano's main research field is the clinical diagnosis of melanoma and, particularly, the development of more accurate methods for the early recognition of melanoma. He is author of numerous scientific articles concerning dermoscopy for the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions and early recognition of melanoma. He is also author of 3 books on the subject (two published by Elsevier, one by Springer). Dr. Argenziano is Secretary of the International Dermoscopy Society and is the Congress Secretary of the First Congress of the International Dermoscopy Society in Naples in April 2006 (www.dermoscopy-ids.org/). His research on melanoma is very well regarded in the field. Because he is both a researcher and clinician, most of his research is very translational and has worldwide adoption. Dr. Argenziano is also among the top 20 researchers by publications in melanoma as indexed by SciVal.
