About the Book

The second edition of this important textbook covers all aspects of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), from epidemiology, pathological classification and evaluation, and molecular biology through to diagnostic imaging methods and therapeutic options, including the latest targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Readers will find individual discussion of each of the various types of NET: gastrointestinal, lung, and pancreatic tumors such as insulinomas, gastrinomas, glucagonomas, VIPomas, somatostatinomas, PPomas, and non-functioning pancreatic NETs, as well as medullary thyroid carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, etc. In addition to NETs, endocrine tumors such as thyroid tumors and adrenocortical tumors are also covered. The contributing authors are internationally recognized experts who bring a wealth of science and experience to the subject. This book will be an invaluable source of information for practicing medical oncologists, surgeons, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and pathologists as well as for trainees in these fields.
