First sentence: In the last two decades immunohistochemical and molecular techniques have significantly contributed to our understanding of the function, differentiation, and oncogenesis of endocrine cells as well as tumor growth and biologic behavior of endocrine tumors.
Description: This book updates the reader about differential diagnoses of endocrine lesions seen in the daily practice of pathology, as well as recent developments in the molecular biology of endocrine tumors. This subject is important for the practicing pathologist who treats difficult cases in endocrine pathology and for the resident/student who wants to learn more about recent developments in endocrine pathology. This book answers these questions for the reader and introduces them to the latest methods in the field. This book serves as a model to combine traditional knowledge of classical endocrinology with state of the art molecular techniques in an easily accessible manner.
