2. 1. Aspects of skin cancer diagnosis in clinical practice

   Author : Ingela Ahnlide; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin cancer diagnosis; skin cancer; skin surgery; dermoscopy; basal cell carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma; melanoma; dysplastic naevus; naevus; algorithms;

   Abstract : Skin cancer incidence is increasing in fair-skinned populations. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). A correct diagnosis is crucial for an efficient and tailored treatment for the skin cancer patient. READ MORE

4. 2. Infections in skin cancer

   Author : Laila Sara Arroyo Mühr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The increasing prevalence of skin cancer results in that it will soon equal that of all other cancers combined. Sun exposure is a well-known risk factor for its development, but despite the growing public awareness of the harmful consequences of ultraviolet radiation, the cancer incidence continues to increase, implying that other factors might also have a role in promoting this disease.

   Author : John Paoli; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : skin cancer; malignant melanoma; squamous cell carcinoma; basal cell carcinoma; multiphoton laser scanning microscopy; penile intraepithelial neoplasia; photodynamic therapy; nerve block; field cancerization; screening; prevention;

   Abstract : The constant rise of skin cancer incidence rates in Sweden is a problem which requires attention. Improved techniques for prevention, early detection and effective treatment are required to face this challenging task. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards a broader use of phototesting : in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention

   Author : Magnus Falk; Chris Anderson; Karin Wårdell; Olle Lärkö; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phototesting; divergent beam; skin cancer prevention; self-reading; minimal erythema dose; sun protection behaviour; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi;

   Abstract : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. READ MORE

7. 5. Micromachined Microwave Sensors for Non-Invasive Skin Cancer Diagnostics
