Thyroid Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Management

This text is an excellent, multidisciplinary resource for any physician involved in the treatment of patients with thyroid cancer. Drs. Wartofsky and Van Nostrand have assembled a diverse group of experts in pathology, endocrinology, surgery, and nuclear medicine who provide up-to-date information on the many facets of managing and treating thyroid cancer. There have been many advances in thyroid cancer management recently including the use of recombinant TSH, PET scanning and increasing use of ultrasound for detection of recurrent disease, which are all covered comprehensively. Areas of controversy, such as stunning by diagnostic I-131 studies, are fairly presented with both sides of the controversy discussed. There are many practical considerations discussed that are helpful in patient care. As a nuclear medicine physician who has treated thyroid cancer patients for over 30 years I find this text to be the best resource available on this subject. I would highly recommend this book to any physician involved with thyroid cancer.
