From the reviews:“This is a comprehensive overview of biomarkers as they relate to pathogenesis and clinical utility in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of melanoma. … The audience is practitioners specializing in melanoma, including dermatologists, surgeons, and oncologists, as well as researchers in the field. … book broadly explores the role of molecular diagnostic techniques and specific biomarkers which may serve to facilitate more accurate diagnoses and identify early-stage melanoma patients with high risk for metastasis. … I highly recommend this book for melanoma clinicians and researchers.” (Susan M. Swetter, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2012)
