The HypoCCS series aims to bring the latest basic and clinical advances in pituitary-related endocrinology to a broad audience. The BioScientifica rapid-publication system ensures that the content is completely up to date.

This is the 6th volume in a series of HypoCCS publications dedicated to detailed, in-depth analysis of pituitary pathophysiology and disease states. The theme of the 2002 book deals with the basis of loss of pituitary function and the development of pituitary tumours that over-produce specific hormones. In addition, a second theme relates to the molecular and cellular actions of growth hormone and IGF-I.

Contributors include leading researchers from Europe and the USA: SWJ Lamberts (University Hospital of Rotterdam, The Netherlands), S Melmed (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA), S Radovick (Children’s Hospital, Boston, USA), SM Shalet (Christie Hospital, Manchester, UK), AJ Van der Lely (University Hospital Dijkzigt, Rotterdam, The Netherlands), JAH Wass (Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford, UK) and S Webb (Hospital Santa Creu I Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain).
