This reference work provides comprehensive data about neuroendocrine neoplasms.
Written by some of the most noted experts across 5 continents, this book provides innovative classification and all the recent advances in tumor biology and molecular characterization, as well as in diagnosis, definition of prognosis and treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasia.
This book is a reference tool for practitioners involved in the management of patients, namely oncologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, biologists, as well as other specialists facing patients with neuroendocrine neoplasia because of peculiar aspects (cardiologists, pneumologists, nutritionists, psychologists).
