This chapter focuses on the management of skin cancer, exploring both malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. The epidemiology of melanoma is covered, and risk factors are described. Management looks at both early-stage and widespread disease, including surgery, adjuvant drug therapy, and radiotherapy. There is further emphasis on recent developments in biological and immunotherapy treatments such as ipilimumab and nivolumab. Non-melanoma skin cancer is discussed, covering risk factors and presentation of these diseases and a summary of their management.
