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, Thyroid Cancer in Clinical Practice
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 management
including surgery, the role and logistics of radioactive iodine and
long-term prescription of thyroid hormone. The management of thyroid
cancer in adults, children and pregnant women are covered separately.
The book also includes images and up-to-date procedures such as fused
Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) images.
This pocket-sized book provides an easily accessible source of
information to supplement existing large texts and provide a handy
reference for everyday use for physicians, including primary care
doctors, practitioners and trainees in endocrinology, nuclear medicine,
oncology, surgery, including otolaryngology, radiation and medical
oncology, and internal medicine. It is also a substantial resource for
patients with thyroid cancer as well as residents, medical students,
and nurse practitioners.
