Full Description
This book is an authoritative and current review of thyroid and parathyroid cancer. The issues covered in this book change rapidly and are the subject of discussion and debate in publications, conferences, and seminars. Each subject is treated by the world's foremost authority who provides both context for the subject and the latest information.
Controversies in Cancer of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands opens with an examination of the options for imaging in thyroid and parathyroid gland cancer, followed by a discussion of biopsies and molecular testing. Next, the authors discuss different surgical approaches, active surveillance, radioiodine therapy, and radiotherapy. Subsequent chapters include coverage of different types of cancer, including metastatic thyroid cancer, anaplastic cancer of the thyroid, and poorly and well differentiated thyroid cancer.
This is a must-read book for those dealing with thyroid and parathyroid cancers, including otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, endocrinologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and residents and fellows in all these specialties.
