The approach to diagnosis and  treatment relies to a great extent on information derived from  retrospective studies. Overall prognosis and survival rates have been  edging upward over the past two decades. This is attributed to a wider  acceptance of total thyroidectomy as the primary surgical strategy.  The appropriate indication of radioiodine therapy remains  controversial, and physicians must be familiar with staging criteria  to make educated decisions. \u003cbr\u003e  We are now beginning to understand the genetic mechanisms of thyroid  tumor initiation and progression. There are still major challenges  ahead. \u003cem\u003eThyroid Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e provides comprehensive updates on the  epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of thyroid  neoplasms. Although the material should be of particular interest to  scholars in the field, the contributors have striven to make it of  practical use to physicians who treat patients with thyroid disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792383260\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4945-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 360\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312179007628,"sku":"9780792383260","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792383260.jpg?v=1771520815","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792383260","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
