Skin cancer

Relevance: Malignant skin tumors (skin cancer + skin melanoma) in 2015 in the Russian Federation took the 1st place among the adult population (both sexes). The incidence of skin cancer among the adult population in the world and in Russia is steadily increasing. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant skin tumor and accounts for 80% of them. This type of cancer is mainly localized on the skin of the head, face and neck. With the introduction of the dermatoscopy method into the routine practice of a dermatologist and oncologist, the diagnosis of skin cancer and its precursors has improved somewhat. In recent years, the methods of diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer at all stages of the tumor process have been improved and optimized.

As part of the course, we:

1. Let's analyze the principles of diagnosis and treatment of precancerous skin.
2. Let's analyze the dermatoscopic criteria for various types of skin cancer with the help of modern dermatoscopes.
3. Let's analyze the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis of skin cancer.
4. We will analyze the principles of diagnosis and treatment of local skin cancer (cryodestruction, electrocoagulation, laser removal, radiotherapy, local therapy, as well as the types and volumes of operations, principles of diagnosis and treatment). 
5. We will analyze the principles of diagnosis and treatment of locally advanced and disseminated forms of skin cancer (types and volumes of operations, schemes of modern chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
6. We will study in detail the method and technique of surgical removal of primary skin cancer.
