Abstract
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Understanding the natural history of skin cancer provides the framework for the creation of prevention and control strategies that aim to reduce skin cancer burden. Strategies include health promotion, primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Health promotion and primary prevention were covered in the first part of this two-part review. The second part covers secondary and tertiary prevention of skin cancer. In particular, preventive strategies centered on early detection of skin cancer, prevention of disease progression, clinical surveillance, and educational and behavioral interventions are highlighted. Summaries of existing recommendations, challenges, opportunities, and future directions are discussed.
