Neoplastic Skin Diseases

Neoplasias can be benign or malignant. Benign neoplastic skin diseases include dermatofibromas, seborrheic keratoses, and benign nevi, while skin cancer is the most well-known malignant type. In fact, skin cancer is the most common malignancy in the world and exacts a high burden on the healthcare system. It can be broadly subdivided into two categories: melanoma and non-melanoma. A fairer skin type is a common risk factor for skin cancer, as melanin is protective against UV damage (another major risk factor). Avoiding UV radiation is important for primary prevention.

A nice but really tricky course unit

By Dengu D. on 16. April 2021 for Neoplastic Skin Diseases

One needs a really freshened mind to grasp this. I think I need more time on this. Perhaps more illustration and pictures demonstrating the various skin conditions discussed would be beneficial!

Terrific and easy explanation to difficult topic!

By Pharlin N. on 03. June 2020 for Benign Nevus and Dysplastic Nevus

I like the way benign nevi was explained, start with the definition and the different categories.... Perfect!

Great video!
