Saving Your Skin
Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment of Melanoma and Other Skin Cancers

"Saving Your Skin could save your life or the life of a close family member, a colleague or a neighbor." — from the foreword by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, MD, Chairman Emeritus, Department of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital

[Book Cover] An illustrated look at all aspects of melanoma — the deadliest skin cancer — which has victimized over 300,000 Americans and millions worldwide.

An all-around guide, Saving Your Skin includes information on the following: how to detect melanoma in its early stages — what it is and what causes it; how to fight the skin's worst enemy — the sun; how to do your own skin exam at home; how to pick a doctor; patient support networks; and much more. Within this book can be found up-to-date information on the prevention of melanoma, analysis of treatments both conventional and experimental, and case histories. This easy-to understand, comprehensive guide to avoiding and surviving one of the fastest-increasing cancers has been developed from extensive research, including interviews with the world's leading melanoma experts — oncologists, immunologists, and cancer researchers.

Saving Your Skin is written by a husband and wife team. Barney Kenet, MD, is a dermatologist specializing in skin cancer at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center. Patricia Lawler is a lawyer and former consumer reporter for the Las Vegas Sun. Lawler and her husband live in New York City and are founders of the American Melanoma Foundation.
