Abstract

Prevention and early detection of skin cancers are crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality. Armed with the above information and with some experience, the primary care physician can understand risk factors and recognize common benign and malignant skin tumors. This allows the primary care physician to play a key role in teaching patients about skin cancer prevention and in screening patients for skin cancers.
