Pathology and genetics of tumours of the endocrine organs

This book is an authoritative, concise reference, prepared by 150 authors from 20 countries. It contains more than 500 colour photographs, numerous MRIs, ultrasound images, CT scans, charts and more than 2,900 references. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features and associated genetic alterations are described in a strictly disease-oriented manner. Sections on all recognised neoplasms and their variants include new ICD-O codes, incidence, age and sex distribution, location, clinical signs, and symptoms, pathology, genetics and predictive factors.
