摘要:Thyroid cancer shows the fastest rate of increase in women in the USA. There is an urgent need to better understand its underlying causes, explore efficient and sensitive methods for its diagnosis, new methods of treatment and follow-up, based on the recent advances in technology. Molecular Basis of Thyroid Cancer brings together top-flight experts from across the globe to consider present state of the art treatment and techniques and what the future holds. The product of this effort is invaluable to endocrinologists (particularly those with an interest in thyroid cancer), thyroid surgeons, nuclear medicine physicians, molecular oncologists, clinical biochemists, and those in biotechnology intent on the innovation of better diagnosis and therapy of cancer.
