Five-star reviews:
Outstanding skin cancer diagnosis book for beginners and experts
alike "This book is based on some 20,000 skin lesion cases which
Professor Rosendahl personally diagnosed, photographed and treated
in his Brisbane clinic, and analysed through the SCARD data base
which he helped create. That is serious data from real life, giving
this book great authority. I had the privilege of studying in the
author's clinic, and as a doctor of 40 years, 20 years working with
skin tumours, I know a real expert when I see one at work.
"Cliff is passionate about skin cancer diagnosis, and teaching it
to others. Highly regarded as an original researcher, he teaches
skin lesion recognition all over the world, including places like
Iran, Turkey and Ukraine as well as Australia, New Zealand and
Western Europe. He worked with Viennese dermatoscopy superstar
Professor Harald Kittler to develop the 'Chaos and Clues' and
'Prediction without Pigment' algorithms which run through the whole
book.
"This modern diagnostic approach builds on previous knowledge and
is objectively as diagnostically accurate as older diagnostic
methods, but is quicker to learn and easier to teach. Moreover, the
method uses an objective, geometric , descriptive terminology for
lesion patterns and clues, which translates into non-English
languages more easily than the older metaphorical terminology (very
necessary since skin cancer and dermoscopy are global) and gives a
more reproducible way of sharing data for research.
"Strongly recommended for all skin lesion diagnosticians from nurse
to professor, beginners and advanced will all get something from
this book. Very inexpensive too!" Amazon reviewer
(Declaration of interest: SH received generous hospitality and
tuition from Cliff Rosendahl when visiting Brisbane, and
contributed a foreword to the book.)
Superb "The most informative and accessible book I have read on
this subject. Great illustrations and clear, informative, relevent
text on skin structure, histopathological correlations of
dermatoscopy and methodology for dermatoscopy along with excellent
images. Tremendous value for money." Amazon reviewer
Beautiful examples of clinico-dermoscopic-pathologic correlation
"Rosendahl and Marozava’s Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer is a great
resource for both beginner dermoscopists and those wishing to
advance their skills. Illustrations combining clinical, dermoscopic
and histopathologic images emphasise the correlations between these
three critical modalities and are particularly useful for
understanding and identifying the whole range of skin cancers and
their stimulants." Amazon reviewer
The Best Dermatoscopy informative book going! World class standard
reference medical text "This very high quality book co-written by
one of the world's leading light experts (with his associate -
Aksana) in the field of skin cancer detection by dermatoscopy.
Beautifully presented by a very articulate Professor of Medicine
author using his own dermatoscopic photo's. The book and its
succinct content is also very well organized and indexed.
Every Skin Cancer Medical Doctor must have this book on his / her
top shelf as an excellent resource and reference as is my copy, in
our quest to master early detection and zero tolerance approach to
skin cancer"
Amazon reviewer
A very useful book "This book is useful and "solid". No frills.
Much practical experience, excellent teaching organization. There
is everything you need to know not only for the family doctor, but
also for an experienced dermatoscopist.
Recommended as a fundamental text for the topic." Amazon
reviewer
[The book] is laid out with clear, basic language that students of
the skin at any level will benefit from. This handbook starts with
a review of basic dermatoscopic techniques and concepts, followed
by a basic science review of the anatomy, embryology, histology,
and pathophysiology of the skin as an organ system. The entire text
is extensively filled with artistic renderings, histologic slides,
and photographs, from cover to cover. The book does not waste any
time and jumps to reviewing photographs, histologic preparations,
and dermatoscopic images of skin cancers by the third chapter. This
format (photographic image of the skin lesion, histologic
preparation, and dermatoscopic image presented together) is
consistent throughout the entire text and allows readers to start
to piece together pattern recognition of their own… [it] is a great
addition for any student, resident, or family physician looking to
extend their dermatoscopic library. Students of dermatology at all
levels will benefit from the numerous, vivid images and clear
language throughout this book. Rosendahl and Marozava’s work
provides fundamentals for those without dermatoscopic experience
and serves as a useful reference for the practiced dermatoscopist
alike.

"This new textbook provides an invaluable resource for new and
improving students of dermoscopy both to read and reference. It
offers a methodical and comprehensive guide to understanding
dermoscopy and using it to assess skin lesions...
The breadth of material included and the clarity of writing have
created a book that I suspect will be highly influential in its
field, with the potential to become a standard reference for
students of dermoscopy."
*Ulster Medical Journal*
"Training your eyes to recognize the subtle but important vascular
and pigmented dermatoscopic patterns characteristic of melanoma and
other skin cancers can be challenging and confusing. The clinical
details in the color dermatoscopic photographs in this book are
overall excellent and the findings are marked with different
colored arrows. Each finding is described as what it represents
histologically, making it easier to understand what a pseudopod,
clod, etc., represents in a malignant lesion.
Dermatoscopic signs of malignancy are described in a step-by-step
fashion. Multiple examples are shown giving readers a feeling for
the range of how these features can present. There are very clear
explanations of why these findings are indicative of a malignant
process.
For novices, learning how to observe the proper patterns and
vascular patterns can be daunting. From studying the multitude of
dermatoscopic photographs, readers can begin to understand the
subtleties that confirm the difference between benign and malignant
lesions. There are decision tree diagrams to help in determining if
a lesion is benign or malignant by categorizing it initially
whether or not pigment is present, and then systematically
evaluating it for the presence or absence of ulceration, "white
clues", and vessel morphology."
