I am a dermatologist in private practice and have worked in a university hospital environment for many years. I am glad of having been given the opportunity to review Dr. Hayes’ book on clinical diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. The title of the book is inviting, as it suggests that its aim is to serve practicing dermatologists, generalists and all interested students of dermatology. Moreover, the fact that its author is Australian induced special expectations for me. Since this country is known to be one of the most affected by the purported epidemics of melanoma, its practitioners, I thought, should have acquired a particular expertise worth being communicated. The ambition of the author is to cover cutaneous neoplasms from both the (clinical) diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. In reading the text, one rapidly understands that Dr. Hayes is addressing physicians with various backgrounds. The “army” fighting skin cancers in Australia seems to count in its ranks many general practitioners having acquired the necessary expertise. This could be an inspiration for practitioners in other countries where dermatology is mastered rather exclusively by dermatologists, a practice that soon will become overwhelmed. The measures taken in Australia seem to be efficient in controlling these epidemics. Apart from the treatment techniques well presented in the book, I would have appreciated a short discussion of the public health policies existing in Australia. The format of the book is adequate. The concise and synthetic mind governing its redaction makes rapid consultation on a specific topic is easy reading. The size of the book (482 pages) is very reasonable considering the extent of the subject. The practical aspect of each chapter is never neglected. The book gives preference to frequently occurring lesions and teaches efficient ways of recognizing them. For example, the illustrations pertaining to actinic keratosis are better than those found in most textbooks. Many clinical photographs support the text and are essential to proper learning of dermatology. Highlighted text zones aside the main text summarize the important points and are very welcome. Rarer lesions and, most importantly, malignant lesions, are thoroughly treated. The chapter on melanoma is particularly well illustrated and developed.
