Endocrine Pathology - Differential Diagnosis and Molecular Advances

A comprehensive review of recent molecular discoveries that can clarify the pathophysiology of endocrine disease processes and contribute to the diagnostic aspects of endocrine pathology. Surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation therapists discuss the treatment of endocrine disorders, especially tumors, with emphasis on differential diagnosis and on broadening the perspective that the endocrine pathologist must have in making specific tissue diagnoses. Of interest to practicing pathologists, pathology residents, endocrinologists, endocrinologists in training, veterinarians, and interested researchers.

Additional text

"This book is complete, succinct, and clearly presented. Each chapter contains helpful tables for quick reference to differential diagnoses, immunohistochemical profiles, and other helpful information. This ambitious book meets the challenge to pathology atlases of the future by including molecular analysis in the discussion of tumor pathogenesis and diagnosis. This is an intelligently written, eminently useful, forward-looking book."-Doody';s Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"...a very well-presented book...a recommended desk reference for the endocrinologist and endocrine surgeon." - Ann R Coll Surg Engl

"...provide(s) comprehensive coverage...a useful and well-organized resource designed not only for the enodcrine pathologist and the general surgical pathologist, but also for the clinical endoriologist and the endocrine surgeon." - New England Journal of Medicine

"...a useful and well-organized resource designed not only for the endocrine pathologist and the general suurgeon pathologist, but also for the clinical endocrinologist and the enodcriune surgeon." - New England Journal of Medicine
