Reviews

From the reviews: "The purpose is to teach dermatologists how to increase diagnostic accuracy of pigmented lesions, especially melanoma, by using the dermatoscope. … The audience is dermatologists and dermatology residents. … This is definitely a valuable reference at a reasonable price. I would recommend reading it from cover to cover." (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2009)
