摘要
This article describes the clinical features, treatment options, and prognosis of the most common skin cancers: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Emphasis is placed on specific issues that need to be considered when dealing with cancers of the skin in the elderly population. In addition, issues surrounding the early detection and prevention of skin cancer are addressed.
