Advances in Melanoma, An Issue of Hematology/Oncology Clinics
By David
Fisher
2009 (1st
ed), 240 pages, $90 list
The field of melanoma biology has
experienced a remarkable surge in recent years, owing to progress which has
ranged from the most basic laboratory/preclinical discoveries to clinical
developments that have begun to transform the management and prognosis for at
least certain melanoma patients. Among the key areas that have contributed to
this progress are studies relating to signaling and transcriptional pathways
that regulate control over differentiation and survival of the melanocyte
lineage. The identification of recurring activating mutations in specific
signaling factors (B-RAF, N-Ras, c-KIT), amplification of other melanoma
oncogenes (MITF, NEDD9), and the crucial recognition that certain of these
genomic events occur within melanomas arising with specific clinical features
(eg mucosal or acral origin) have led to clear recognition that melanoma is
indeed “many different diseases.”

Non-Surgical Treatment of Keratinocyte Skin Cancer
By Gregor
Jemec
2009 (1st
ed), 247 pages, 43 illus, $139 list
With more and more
patients suffering from field cancerisation, an alternative for repeated
surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer is becoming
necessary. Although surgery remains the gold standard for treatment of
non-melanoma or keratinocyte skin cancer, it also has its downside. Surgery
leaves scars and nowadays the cosmetic outcome of therapy is becoming
increasingly important. Since many cases can effectively be managed without
surgery, the possibilities of non-surgical therapy are gaining popularity,
particularly in low malignancy tumours. This reader-friendly clinical guide
offers treatment options for the growing group of these patients. It describes
the current state-of-the art for non-surgical treatment of this type of skin
cancer, and gives factual knowledge to beginners and new inspirations to
experts.

Epidermal Cell Tumors: The Basics
By Bruce
Smoller
2010 (1st
ed), 250 pages, $60 list
Epidermal
Cell Tumors: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook for
the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the
practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to criteria that are useful
in differentiating histologically similar entities. The reader will be able to
focus upon a single histologic observation, i.e., inflammatory conditions
without epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build
a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is
addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findings
and epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic
description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity
under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment
the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed. The chapters are
thematically based and consist of essential bullet points arranged in organized
outlines allowing for easy access and direct comparison between entities.

Stockfleth:
Skin Cancer after Organ Transplantation
By Eggert
Stockfleth
2009 (1st
ed), 502 pages, 60 illus, $149 list
Organ transplantation
has been performed for almost 40 years with steadily increasing success
regarding long-time survival of the graft, as well as quality of life for the
patient. However, graft tolerance only can be achieved via induction and
maintenance of an impaired immunological surveillance. An increase of skin
cancers as a consequence of the lowered cellular immunoresponse seems to
parallel the overall increased long-time survival rate of organ transplant
recipients. Against the background of chronic immunosuppression known risk
factors like the amount of sun exposure prior and post transplantation,
oncogenic viruses as well as the genetic background, and place of residence
(latitude) are strongly related with the increased skin cancer incidence.
