Malignant Tumors of the Thyroid: Clinical Concepts and Controversies

Thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy in which most tumors are well-differentiated with a good prognosis. However, appropriate management is essential to achieve optimal therapeutic success, and considerable variability in the approach to management of these tumors exists. Malignant Tumors of the Thyroid: Clinical Concepts and Controversies analytically reviews the major topics relating to these malignancies. Authored by practicing clinical thyroidologists, the volume especially emphasizes clinical presentation and therapy, including management recommendations. Each chapter constitutes a complete clinical review of its subject with pertinent pathophysiological correlation and up-to-date and extensive bibliographies. The current and comprehensive information presented in this volume is designed to meet the needs of clinical specialists and fellows in thyroidology, endocrinology, clinical oncology, head and neck surgery, and pathology.
