Description:
Dermatologists practicing at the highest level are able to recognize features of high-risk skin cancers before recurrence or metastasis occur, thus offering optimal treatment to patients. In this session, we will review the latest data on high-risk skin cancers and discuss how to prospectively recognize them. More importantly, we will consider various strategies to improve outcomes for patients with high risk skin cancers, including when to employ adjuvant therapies. Learn how to practice cutting edge cutaneous oncology through this case based session.
