Those of us who live in Southern California know that the sun can be our foe as well as our friend. The good news, however, is that most skin cancers -- including melanoma -- are easily treatable if caught early. Drs. Smith and Shiu will discuss the latest technologies for diagnosing and treating skin cancer with a focus on melanoma.
