This reference work provides comprehensive data about neuroendocrine neoplasms.
Written by some of the most noted experts across 5 continents, this book provides innovative classification and all the recent advances in tumor biology and molecular characterization, as well as in diagnosis, definition of prognosis and treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasia.
This book is a reference tool for practitioners involved in the management of patients, namely oncologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, biologists, as well as other specialists facing patients with neuroendocrine neoplasia because of peculiar aspects (cardiologists, pneumologists, nutritionists, psychologists). It is published as part of the SpringerReference program, which offers access to "living" editions constantly updated through a dynamic peer-review publishing process.

Dr. Simron Singh is a medical oncologist and affiliate scientist in the Odette Cancer Research Program at Sunnybrook Research Institute. He is also an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr. Singh's research interests include neuroendocrine carcinomas as well as population health and cancer care utilization discrepancies. He is co-head of a newly established multi-disciplinary specialized neuroendocrine clinic at Sunnybrook's Odette Cancer Center, one of the first in the region. He is involved in numerous activities in the care of neuroendocrine cancer including the role of ki-67 as a prognostic marker, and the utilization of health care resources in the diagnosisand treatment of neuroendocrine tumour patients.
