SynopsisEndocrine oncology is a field which is expanding rapidly as a result of the explosion of molecular biological research in this area and the advances in diagnosis made possible by the advent of CT, MRI and angiography. It is a large part of endocrine practice: many of the tumours are non-malignant, but have endocrine effects (eg. acromegaly) through hormone secretion. Even the jobbing endocrinologist outside an academic or referral centre could expect 80% of their work to involve endocrine oncology. The oncologist, on the other hand, is only likely to see endocrine reproductive, primarily gynaecological problems, about 30% of the workload. St. Bartholemew's is a world renowned centre: through its contacts and through the journal, it is proposed to develop a highly structured clinical and, Utilising the expertise of a carefully-selected team of internationally acclaimed authors, Clinical Endocrine Oncology contains 87 chapters that reflect the most authoritative and up-to-date information available. The text provides background information, including basic science, genetics (where applicable), clinical investigative protocols, and scientific and practical treatment plans. As the most comprehensive text ever assembled on this topic, Clinical Endocrine Oncology is essential reading and will likely become an invaluable reference source in every endocrine unit.
