Atlas of Thyroid and Neuroendocrine Tumor Markers

The "Atlas of Thyroid and Neuroendocrine Tumor Markers" is a comprehensive reference book that addresses the increasing significance of thyroid tumors and neuroendocrine tumors (NET). It highlights the role of circulating markers in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of these conditions. Advances in analytical techniques have significantly improved the clinical impact of established biochemical markers. Additionally, innovative molecular markers derived from genetic and molecular approaches are presented. The book promotes communication between clinicians and laboratory physicians to optimally leverage the benefits of these advancements. It discusses analytical issues such as disorders, as well as false-negative and false-positive results, and provides valuable insights into their identification and avoidance through flowcharts. Clinical case studies illustrate the role and limitations of various tumor markers. Furthermore, health technology assessments and economic aspects are also addressed.
