Summary:

The significant insights and new diagnostic possibilities arising from recent discoveries in cellular and molecular biology are transforming the field of endocrine pathology. In Endocrine Pathology: Differential Diagnosis and Molecular Advances, a panel of leading experts capture these dynamic changes by critically reviewing those molecular discoveries that can clarify the pathophysiology of endocrine disease processes and enhance the diagnosis of specific endocrine pathologies. Here, pathologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation therapists discuss the treatment of endocrine disorders, especially tumors, with emphasis on in-depth differential diagnosis and on broadening the endocrine pathologist's ability to make accurate tissue diagnoses. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Endocrine Pathology: Differential Diagnosis and Molecular Advances offers practicing pathologists, pathology residents, endocrinologists, endocrinologists in training, veterinarians, and interested researchers a rich, up-to-date survey of the new diagnostic and molecular basis of endocrine tumor pathogenesis.
