Overview
About this course
Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide accounting for approximately 40% of all
neoplasms
among Caucasians. Although less prevalent among people of color, it portends a worse prognosis as diagnosis
is
often delayed when the cancer is already at an advanced stage. Thus, early detection and diagnosis is of
vital
importance.

skin cancer and their proper
management approach.
