Thyroid Cancer

From Emergent Biotechnologies to Clinical Practice Guidelines
Herausgeber: Carpi, Angelo; Mechanick, Jeffrey I

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting the latest data, trials, and clinical guidelines governing diagnostics and therapeutics in thyroid cancer research, this volume provides introductory chapters explaining the translation of experimental data, new clinical trials, and molecular biology research into clinical practice. The book covers pathophysiology, systems biology, genetic and epigenetic alterations, risk stratification, and aspiration biopsy. Offering clinical case studies, the contributors emphasize the emerging role of molecular medicine and look at innovations in biotechnology and advances in medical imaging.
