[Skin cancer].
The current status, clinic, causes and prevention strategies of malignant tumours of the skin are described. Dermatologists, physicians and health professionals have made tremendous efforts to improve the public education and early detection of these tumours especially during the last decade. Further campaigns and continual medical education are demanded to continue this improvement for patients and public health system.
