2009 Update on Skin Cancer

The second Annual Evidence Update on Skin Cancer has been prepared jointly by the NHS Evidence – cancer and NHS Evidence – skin disorders specialist collections. The update presents the results of a search for new guidance since May 2008, including systematic reviews and other literature on melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Various health professionals from the UK and abroad have contributed expert commentaries on new topics included in the update. There is also a list of uncertainties about treatment effects in skin cancer, which have been gathered from the systematic reviews. These knowledge gaps, where new research is needed, have been added to DUETS, the UK Database of Uncertainties about the Effects of Treatment.
A wide range of patient information resources are also provided.
