Case Studies in Thyroid and Parathyroid Tumors

The book covers all aspects of thyroid and parathyroid surgery, including history and examination, pre-operative workup, and how ancillary specialties like pathology, radiology, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine impact the outcome of thyroid and parathyroid patients. It offers a step-by-step approach to help the readers manage their cases in their practice. It includes numerous color photographs, anatomical and operative line diagrams for easy understanding. Chapters include flow charts explaining the case management and the decision-making process. The book serves as a valuable resource to endocrine surgeons, general surgeons, endocrinologists, and internists. It also serves as reference material for the exit examination of masters of surgery and the super specialty entrance and exit exam for endocrine surgery. Additionally, it helps consultants and postgraduate students of radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy.
