Saving Face: My Victory Over Skin Cancer
From the Publisher This gripping memoir tells the story of a survivor of a 32-year battle with basal cell skin cancer that required 4 major cancer removal surgeries, the amputation of her nose, and 18 reconstructive surgeries to restore it. In her youth, like many young people of the 1920s and 1930s, Carolyn Shuck underwent X-ray treatments for acne — a medical procedure that almost certainly caused the cancer that would take away her face and almost her life. Through the years of struggling with recurring cancers and devastating treatments, Carolyn led her life as normally as possible, raising three children and volunteering countless hours for Planned Parenthood. This account of living with skin cancer will inspire skin cancer patients and should be read by doctors, nurses, and other caregiving professionals.

Internal Malignancy and the Skin: Paraneoplastic and Cancer Treatment-Related Cutaneous Disorders, an Issue of Dermatologic Clinics
A wide variety of skin signs have been associated with internal malignancy. Cutaneous manifestations may develop before an internal neoplasm is recognized, and the skin findings can aid in diagnosis. In some cases the skin is infiltrated by malignant cells that represent metastatic or local spread from an internal malignancy. In other cases, the skin lesions are related to the underlying presence of malignancy, but they do not contain malignant cells. This issue of Dermatologic Clinics contains information on topics such as malignancy and cancer treatment-related hair and nail changes, tumor invasion of the skin, radiation therapy toxicity to the skin, and epidermal manifestations of internal malignancy.
