About this book
Reviews
“The purpose is to comprehensively present pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from both a clinical and pathological standpoint. In particular, the book aims to cover the advances in diagnosis and treatment that have occurred over the past decade. This book is written for both clinicians and pathologists who have a particular interest in the management or diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Pathology residents or oncology fellows with a particular interest in these tumors also could find this book of value.” (Kyle D. Perry, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2015)
