TELICH TARRIBA, José Eduardo; MONTER PLATA, Andrea; VICTOR BALDIN, André y APELLANIZ CAMPO, Armando. Diagnosis and treatment of malignant skin tumors. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.154-160. ISSN 1870-7203.
Skin cancer has become a public health problem due to its high incidence and the considerable percentage that it occupies within the main malignant neoplasias. There are several risk factors to develop this pathology, and it was observed that exposure to UV rays is among the most important. For its study, it is divided into two types: melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, which in turn is classified into basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Most cases are preventable and respond well to treatment when they are diagnosed promptly; it is, therefore, to be considered a relevant topic within the medical practice.
