Riassunto

Utilising the expertise of a carefully-selected team of internationally acclaimed authors, Clinical Endocrine Oncology contains 87 chapters that reflect the most authoritative and up-to-date information available. The text provides background information, including basic science, genetics (where applicable), clinical investigative protocols, and scientific and practical treatment plans. As the most comprehensive text ever assembled on this topic, Clinical Endocrine Oncology is essential reading and will likely become an invaluable reference source in every endocrine unit.

Recensione:

"...this book will be an essential reference for units engaged in the care of patients with endocrine tumors."; New England Journal of Medicine; From the Foreword: "This book meets a hitherto unmet need for the collection of authoritative information on endocrine oncology which previously was scattered in textbooks of endocrinology, medicine, oncology, radiology and pathology. It is a pleasure to see this volume come to fruition." Michael O Thorner, University of Virginia Health Health Sciences Center

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Endocrine oncology is a field which is expanding rapidly as a result of the explosion of molecular biological research in this area and the advances in diagnosis made possible by the advent of CT, MRI and angiography. It is a large part of endocrine practice: many of the tumours are non-malignant, but have endocrine effects (eg. acromegaly) through hormone secretion. Even the jobbing endocrinologist outside an academic or referral centre could expect 80% of their work to involve endocrine oncology.
