Abstract:
Skin cancer - prevention and therapy Abstract. Skin cancers are increasing in western countries. Prevention consists mainly of primary (UV- protection) and secondary (early detection) prevention. Family physicians are often the first contact persons to evaluate the dignity of skin lesions of high-risk patients and help to perform the diagnosis. If skin cancer is detected early, surgical removal is highly likely to achieve complete cure and reduce the financial burden due to malignant skin tumors. Great progress has been made in the local and systemic therapy of skin tumors in recent years.
