Rezensionen

"This book is well written and easy to follow with up to date references. The evidence base summaries in each chapter are also very useful for trainees and trained clinicians. For the nonconcologist or pathologist the oncogenesis chapter and the cytopathology chapter are up to date and very useful reminders of thyroid cancer. The management sections are easy to follow and very contemporary." (BMA Awards Appraisal, March 2010 )
