Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer: A handbook for hunters of skin cancer and melanoma (2020) (PDF) by Cliff Rosendahl

Description

Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer is a handbook to help dermatologists, dermatoscopists and family physicians easily differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, leading to fewer unnecessary biopsies and earlier treatment of cancers.

Based around two easy to follow algorithms, Chaos and Clues and Pigment without Prediction, the book shows all dermatoscope users how to confidently diagnose skin lesions earlier and with greater precision.

User’s Reviews

Rosendahl and Marozava’s Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer is a great resource for both beginner dermoscopists and those wishing to advance their skills. Illustrations combining clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic images emphasise the correlations between these three critical modalities and are particularly useful for understanding and identifying the whole range of skin cancers and their stimulants.

This book is based on some 20,000 skin lesion cases which Professor Rosendahl personally diagnosed, photographed and treated in his Brisbane clinic, and analysed through the SCARD data base which he helped create. That is serious data from real life, giving this book great authority. I had the privilege of studying in the author’s clinic, and as a doctor of 40 years, 20 years working with skin tumours, I know a real expert when I see one at work.

Cliff is passionate about skin cancer diagnosis, and teaching it to others. Highly regarded as an original researcher, he teaches skin lesion recognition all over the world, including places like Iran, Turkey and Ukraine as well as Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe. He worked with Viennese dermatoscopy superstar Professor Harald Kittler to develop the ‘Chaos and Clues’ and ‘Prediction without Pigment’ algorithms which run through the whole book.

This modern diagnostic approach builds on previous knowledge and is objectively as diagnostically accurate as older diagnostic methods, but is quicker to learn and easier to teach. Moreover, the method uses an objective, geometric , descriptive terminology for lesion patterns and clues, which translates into non-English languages more easily than the older metaphorical terminology (very necessary since skin cancer and dermoscopy are global) and gives a more reproducible way of sharing data for research.

Strongly recommended for all skin lesion diagnosticians from nurse to professor, beginners and advanced will all get something from this book. Very inexpensive too!

Declaration of interest: SH received generous hospitality and tuition from Cliff Rosendahl when visiting Brisbane, and contributed a foreword to the book.
