Pref ace My coauthors and I are happy to bring you this inaugural textbook on high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. We feel it is timely in that many advances in defi ning this entity have occurred in recent years and we’re witnessing the begin- ning of the serious study of this historically understudied disease. If any subsequent editions of this text are released, they will almost certainly contain important advances in prognostic stratifi cation, our understanding of the molecular and genetic underpinnings of aggressive tumor formation and progression, accurate disease staging, and even treatment. Although the study of high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is in its infancy, it will not remain there for long. Many distinguished investigators, many of whom are authors of this book, are hard at work to bring new information to light that will ultimately benefi t patients who suffer from this diffi - cult disease. Meanwhile, we hope that you will fi nd this a useful compendium of current knowledge. Boston, MA, USA Chrysalyne D.
