✦ Synopsis
sands of patients with melanoma. The clinician will find this information to be vital for the prediction of prognosis and treatment planning.
Part V is a unique compilation of reports from 14 melanoma treatment centers in nine countries. Emphasis is placed on epidemiology, prognostic factors, and results of surgical treatment. The results of a comparative analysis of this data indicate that the behavior of malignant melanoma does indeed differ among various ethnic groups, and with the latitude of residence.
Overall, the book succeeds in its purpose to be "a comprehensive text about the clinical management of melanoma." The library of any physician seriously interested in this disease will not be complete without it.
