Abstract
Skin cancer is a significant worldwide health issue. Increasing rates of precancerous and cancerous lesions are being reported — not just in tropical or “sunny” countries, but also in temperate countries such as the UK.
The Australian state of Queensland has the world’s highest incidence of all types of skin cancer. Consequently, the country’s medical services have pioneered a number of good practice initiatives that have influenced the practice standards in other countries.
This article will summarise the management of three of the most common forms of skin cancer.
