with endocrine cancer

The new edition of Clinical Endocrine Oncology has been
fully revised and extended making it the most comprehensive and
up-to-date reference available. Written and edited by leading
international experts in the field, it sets the standard in
multidisciplinary care for patients with endocrine tumors.

The book provides specific and detailed guidance on the basic,
clinical, investigative and therapeutic processes required for the
thorough evaluation of a patient with a tumor in an endocrine
organ. The eighty-four chapters are arranged in seven parts:

* Endocrine Oncology and Therapeutic Options

* Thyroid and Parathyroid Tumors

* Pituitary and Hypothalamic Lesions

* Adrenal and Gonadal Tumors

* Neuroendocrine Tumors and the Clinical Syndromes

Therapy.

This authoritative and practical text will be an invaluable
resource for all those working in the field, including
endocrinologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation
therapists, interventional radiologists, specialist nurses, and
clinical scientists.

Rezensionen

treat patients with endocrine tumors It provides a broad strong
base of knowledge and a good foundation for further investigation
of the treatment options for these tumors." (New England
Journal of Medicine, April 2009)

since the first edition was published 11 years ago, a second
edition is warranted." (Doody's Book Reviews, October
2008)

"Clinical Endocrine Oncology fills a large void in the
medical literature, since it is especially targeted to the
treatment of patients with malignant endocrine tumors. . . . I
recommend this book for physicians who see, diagnose, and treat
patients with endocrine tumors. It provides a broad, strong base of
knowledge and a good foundation for further investigation of the
treatment options for these tumors."

-Jeffrey A. Norton, MD, in a review in NEJM
