Abstract
The key to reducing morbidity and mortality from skin cancer is early detection. Prevention through education is, of course, ultimately the best outcome of collective human efforts. Many questions are still unresolved, but skin cancer screening by general internists, family practitioners, dermatologists, and other health professionals could prove cost-effective and reliable. As more knowledge becomes available, clinicians will have the resources to improve skills in prevention and early detection.
