Special Issue on Skin Cancer Research

This special issue on “Skin Cancer” will be focusing on the latest advancement in causes, treatment and prevention research of skin cancers. The skin is the largest organ in our body and it provides protection against heat, cold, light, and infection. There are several types of cancer that originate in the skin including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Most skin cancers are caused by over-exposure to UV rays from the sun of sunbeds. Family history is also important, particularly in melanoma. The vast majority of skin cancers can be cured if diagnosed and treated early. Treatment is generally via surgical removal. As the most common of all cancers, skin cancers are of great attractions to researchers. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of skin cancer research.
