About the Book

Cancer of the thyroid gland may be a less common condition than carcinoma of the breast, lung, or colon, but it occurs with suf?cient frequency to constitute a major problem that is of concern to general practitioners, physicians, and particularly s- geons.Some idea of the frequency of thyroid carcinoma is given by its incidence in the United States. Every year some 26,000 patients are diagnosed there as suffering from thyroid cancer.Comparable ?gures apply to most countries in Europe although the in- dence does vary somewhat from country to country,perhaps depending on the endo- nous iodine intake.Of the 21,000 patients diagnosed annually in the United States,two thirds will be women,and some 800 will die of the disease during the year. This book should do much to improve the outcome in the treatment of thyroid cancer. First because it is written by a small team of experts of international repute. Secondly their wide experience of the condition allows them to write with authority and thirdly they express their views in clear and commendable English.

Review :
From the reviews: Written by a team of experts selected for their contributions to the development of national guidelines, this new publication represents a comprehensive review of the management of thyorid cancer. It follows the American and European model of treating patients and would be of value to any serious clinician wishing to enhance their knowlegde in this field. With over 2000 figures and tables and chapters covering medullary and anaplastic carcinoma as well as primary thyorid lymphoma, every aspect possible is dealt with this book. It doesn't need me to say it, but this will become a world-wide best-seller. Dr. M. Haq, RAD Magazine, October 2006 "This is a very readable book which covers the management of thyroid cancer in a comprehensive manner. The editors are acknowledged international leaders in the field ! . They have assembled a ! team of contributors who have provided an excellent and up-to-date review of thyroid cancer. ! the book provides an invaluable practical resource for clinicians and all other team members involved in the management of thyroid cancer." (Leigh Delbridge, CancerForum, Vol. 30 (3), November, 2006) "The main editor of this book is E. L. Mazzaferri, one of the most renowned experts on thyroid cancer ! . In conclusion, we think that this book is more than an excellent text for students, residents and practitioners. Its innovative approach and the abundance of useful and uncommon knowledge should ensure that it will become an irreplaceable work of reference for experts in this field. We strongly recommend it to all who are interested in the 'practical management of thyroid cancer'." (N. Panza and L. Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 34, 2007)
