Pituitary Tumors: A Comprehensive and Interdisciplinary Approach

Pituitary Tumors: A Comprehensive and Interdisciplinary Approach provides the latest information on preclinical issues, diagnostic procedures, treatment options and post-treatment care for patients with pituitary tumors. The book includes basic and advanced knowledge for a broad audience, including physicians, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, neuro-pathologists, oncologists, radiotherapists and researchers who are investigating pituitary tumors. Readers will find the latest research surrounding progress on uncoding the molecular mechanisms involved in tumor genesis. In addition, standard treatment modalities, including surgery, medical treatment and radiosurgery are explored. Provides state-of-the-art knowledge from experts who cover all specialties involved in the field of pituitary tumorsOffers a comprehensive presentation of related issues to pituitary tumorsDelivers a complete reference book for a broad audience, providing both basic and advanced knowledge INDICE: Section I.
