Reseña del editor:

Recent studies have shown that the incidence of malignant melanoma continue to increase steadily. Fortunately, through primary and secondary prevention programs, the mortality rate from such cases has grown less rapidly compared to 20 years ago. Many countries are at the present time investing time and energy in campaigns aimed at encouraging sensible sun exposure (primary prevention) and promoting early visual identification of melanoma (secondary prevention). This publication brings together leading experts in the fields of epidemiology, dermatology and psychology to discuss the current state of international research concerning these prevention programs. It has been specially written to alert dermatologists, surgeons, public health physicians and primary care doctors to the current activities in public health education aimed at preventing deaths from melanoma. Pediatricians in particular will find this book a valuable addition to their libraries because of the importance of informing families with young children about the dangers of sun exposure at an early age.
