Thyroid Cancer in Clinical Practice

Covering all aspects of thyroid cancer, including nodules, pathology, thyroid and whole-body scans, ultrasounds and other nuclear medicine and radiological studies as well as follow-up testing and prognosis, the book addresses important issues that physicians should cover when dealing with their patients.

It also tackles the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (the commonest variety) and all aspects of the management including surgery, the role and logistics of radioactive iodine and long-term prescription of thyroid hormone.

This pocket-sized book provides an easily accessible source of reference material to supplement existing large texts and will be a handy reference for everyday use for physicians, including primary care doctors, practitioners and trainees in endocrinology, nuclear medicine, oncology, surgery and internal medicine.

It will also be a substantial resource for patients with thyroid cancer as well as residents, medical students, and nurse practitioners.
