About this book

Endocrine Neoplasia is a comprehensive, updated, and clearly-written text covering the diseases for which endocrine surgical expertise is often needed. We look towards advances in the science and the art of endocrine surgery to continuously improve outcomes for our patients. The goal of this text was to provide a detailed description of both the underlying science of disease as well as the art of clinical management.

The book is divided into five sections addressing neoplasms of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, neuroendocrine pancreas, and multiple endocrine neoplasia. Experts from the United States, Canada, and Australia have contributed chapters addressing both the biology of endocrine tumors and the clinical management of disease. Recent discoveries regarding the genetic underpinnings of disease are highlighted. Updated consensus guidelines were used for clinical recommendations. The management of complex and often confusing clinical problems is discussed in detail.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This is a comprehensive, up-to-date review of endocrine neoplasia, with a focus on pathophysiology as well as proper clinical management. … Targeted at a wide audience, the book offers a thorough review that may be useful to students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing physicians. The material is appropriate for endocrinologists, oncologists, endocrine surgeons, and otolaryngologists. Overall, the quality of this book is excellent. It is concise and complete and readable.” (Rebecca L. Brown, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2009)
