In this newly updated and revised second edition, Leonard Wartofsky, MD, past president of the American Thyroid Association, and a panel of world-class clinicians critically review all aspects of thyroid cancer from pathogenesis to prognosis, including management and treatment. Organized for rapid access by busy physicians, the book covers both differentiated tumors (papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma) and undifferentiated cancers (anaplastic carcinoma, lymphoma, and medullary carcinoma), as well as miscellaneous and unusual cancers of the thyroid. For each tumor type the authors succinctly discuss the key aspects of their clinical presentation, cytology, diagnosis, nuclear isotope scanning evaluation, cellular and biochemical markers, imaging by MRI or CT, monitoring, surgery, pathology, post-operative care, and prognosis. Authoritative and evidenced-based, this second edition of Thyroid Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Management provides in one place everything that physicians treating thyroid cancer patients need to know.

In a massive updating of the highly acclaimed Thyroid Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Management, Drs. Leonard Wartofsky, Douglas Van Nostrand, and an expert group of contributing authors present a wealth of new information and insights on every aspect of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, initial treatment, and long-term management of all varieties of thyroid cancer.

Additional highlights include management of the scan-negative and thyroglobulin-positive patient, ultrasound of the lymph nodes, local adjuncts to therapy of metastases, low iodine diets and cookbooks, future directions in therapy, and alternative therapies when traditional surgery and radioactive iodine fail.
Encyclopedic and definitive, Thyroid Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Management, Second Edition, offers clinical endocrinologists, nuclear medicine physicians, pathologists, oncologists, endocrine surgeons, and internists an authoritative guide to the optimal diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer today.
