This book is a comprehensive, state-of-the art, definitive reference for the surgical management of Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs). It provides a practical, clinically useful guide that prioritizes the diagnostic work-up, indications for surgery, surgical principles, and perioperative care of patients with NETs in the context of multi-disciplinary care. Most textbooks on NETs have traditionally focused on patients with advanced disease, highlighting systemic therapies and emerging treatment options. In contrast, this book provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the surgical management of NETs and serves as an invaluable resource for physicians, fellows, and residents who treat this difficult disease by providing helpful guidelines and up-to-date information on clinical management.
Written by experts in the field,
Neuroendocrine Tumors includes the most up-to-date clinical information from national and international leaders in their respective disciplines. It not only serves as an invaluable resource for many as they seek to provide the best possible surgical and multidisciplinary cancer care, but also an opportunity to identify new avenues of scientific discovery that may lead to significant advances in the diagnosis and management of NETs.
