Skin cancer is the commonest malignancy in the UK and in many other European populations, with the number of cases exceeding those for all other malignancies combined. The bulk of the diagnosis and management of skin cancer is undertaken by dermatologists, with the development of dermatological surgery and Mohs surgery changing the clinical landscape. But for every case of suspected skin cancer we see, we will be referred between 5 and 25 other cases. As ever in dermatology, clinical skills remain paramount, with investigations playing a limited role (it is not practical to biopsy everything….).
All of the videos from this page have now migrated into the online textbook skincancer909. I provide a few examples of what you can find in skincancer909 below. Remember you can find all the skin cancer videos on two playlists on YouTube here (both the one minute videos, and the ‘full length’ videos).
