Independent Component 2: Update

Today,a very special guest came by to discuss skin cancer. Dr. Vijay Trisal, from City of Hope, is a general surgeon, but received his fellowship in surgical oncology. Here is a link of his biographical information.  In today's lecture, Dr. Trisal discussed about the types of skin cancers, from the the most common (basal, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma) to the most rare (merkecl cell carcinoma). He also discussed the staging of skin cancer, treatment options, and preventative measures one should take to avoid skin cancer.
Please excuse the pictures, they are not of the best quality.

Here is Dr. Trisal!
