Skin cancer represents a growing public health concern, with increasing incidence rates and prevalence worldwide. Between 1990 and 2019, an upward trend was observed in the development of non-melanoma skin cancers and melanoma. According to data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, the global incidence in 2019 was estimated at 4 million cases of basal cell carcinoma, 2.4 million cases of squamous cell carcinoma, and 0.4 million cases of melanoma. Several approaches are available for treating skin cancer, including both conservative and invasive options, among which Mohs microscopic surgery is highlighted in this activity.
This topic aims to underscore the current knowledge concerning skin cancer epidemiology, particularly environmental risk factors, including climate change-related factors. Participating clinicians examine the utility and indications of Mohs micrographic surgery in the management of skin cancer and delve into community-based initiatives to mitigate these risks and promote awareness through interprofessional collaboration.
