Five-star reviews:
Outstanding skin cancer diagnosis book for beginners and experts
alike "This book is based on some 20,000 skin lesion cases
which Professor Rosendahl personally diagnosed, photographed and
treated in his Brisbane clinic, and analysed through the SCARD data
base which he helped create. That is serious data from real life,
giving this book great authority. I had the privilege of studying
in the author's clinic, and as a doctor of 40 years, 20 years
working with skin tumours, I know a real expert when I see one at
work.
"Cliff is passionate about skin cancer diagnosis, and teaching it
to others. Highly regarded as an original researcher, he teaches
skin lesion recognition all over the world, including places like
Iran, Turkey and Ukraine as well as Australia, New Zealand and
Western Europe. He worked with Viennese dermatoscopy superstar
Professor Harald Kittler to develop the 'Chaos and Clues' and
'Prediction without Pigment' algorithms which run through the whole
book.
"This modern diagnostic approach builds on previous knowledge and
is objectively as diagnostically accurate as older diagnostic
methods, but is quicker to learn and easier to teach. Moreover, the
method uses an objective, geometric , descriptive terminology for
lesion patterns and clues, which translates into non-English
languages more easily than the older metaphorical terminology (very
necessary since skin cancer and dermoscopy are global) and gives a
more reproducible way of sharing data for research.
"Strongly recommended for all skin lesion diagnosticians from nurse
to professor, beginners and advanced will all get something from
this book. Very inexpensive too!" Amazon reviewer
(Declaration of interest: SH received generous hospitality and
tuition from Cliff Rosendahl when visiting Brisbane, and
contributed a foreword to the book.)
Superb "The most informative and accessible book I have read
on this subject. Great illustrations and clear, informative,
relevent text on skin structure, histopathological correlations of
dermatoscopy and methodology for dermatoscopy along with excellent
images. Tremendous value for money." Amazon reviewer
Beautiful examples of clinico-dermoscopic-pathologic
correlation "Rosendahl and Marozava's Dermatoscopy and Skin
Cancer is a great resource for both beginner dermoscopists and
those wishing to advance their skills. Illustrations combining
clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic images emphasise the
correlations between these three critical modalities and are
particularly useful for understanding and identifying the whole
range of skin cancers and their stimulants." Amazon reviewer
The Best Dermatoscopy informative book going! World
class standard reference medical text "This very high quality
book co-written by one of the world's leading light experts (with
his associate - Aksana) in the field of skin cancer detection by
dermatoscopy. Beautifully presented by a very articulate Professor
of Medicine author using his own dermatoscopic photo's. The book
and its succinct content is also very well organized and
indexed.
Every Skin Cancer Medical Doctor must have this book on his / her
top shelf as an excellent resource and reference as is my copy, in
our quest to master early detection and zero tolerance approach to
skin cancer"
Amazon reviewer
A very useful book "This book is useful and "solid". No
frills. Much practical experience, excellent teaching organization.
There is everything you need to know not only for the family
doctor, but also for an experienced dermatoscopist.
Recommended as a fundamental text for the topic." Amazon
reviewer
[The book] is laid out with clear, basic language that students of the skin at any level will benefit from. This handbook starts with a review of basic dermatoscopic techniques and concepts, followed by a basic science review of the anatomy, embryology, histology, and pathophysiology of the skin as an organ system. The entire text is extensively filled with artistic renderings, histologic slides, and photographs, from cover to cover. The book does not waste any time and jumps to reviewing photographs, histologic preparations, and dermatoscopic images of skin cancers by the third chapter. This format (photographic image of the skin lesion, histologic preparation, and dermatoscopic image presented together) is consistent throughout the entire text and allows readers to start to piece together pattern recognition of their own... [it] is a great addition for any student, resident, or family physician looking to extend their dermatoscopic library. Students of dermatology at all levels will benefit from the numerous, vivid images and clear language throughout this book. Rosendahl and Marozava's work provides fundamentals for those without dermatoscopic experience and serves as a useful reference for the practiced dermatoscopist alike.
