This text provides a comprehensive, contemporary review of this
disease and serves as an important resource for clinicians and
researchers with an interest in medullary thyroid cancer. The book
reviews the initial management of the patient with thyroid nodules,
including risk factors, appropriate genetic evaluation of
suspected/known medullary thyroid cancer, and appropriate screening
for diseases associated with inherited forms of medullary thyroid
cancer, including primary hyperparathyroidism and
pheochromocytomas. It includes an in-depth discussion of the
optimal surgical management of patients with sporadic and inherited
disease, those with locoregional metastases, distant metastases,
and recurrent medullary thyroid cancer. The long-term follow-up and
management of patients with medullary thyroid cancer is
highlighted.
