Clinical Endocrine Oncology 

A truly comprehensive reference for the management of patients
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

* Medical Syndromes and Endocrine Neoplasia

* Endocrine-responsive Tumors and Female Reproductive Hormone
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.

John A.H. Wass is joined in this edition by a new editor, Ian D.
