The latest book to record the new developments in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours includes contributions from leading world authorities in a comprehensive and well-edited volume.

This new assessment of neuroendocrine tumours not only highlights the advances in management of neuroendocrine tumours in general, but also gives emphasis to the treatment options available to individual patients. All aspects of the tumours are discussed, including genetics, medical and surgical management and quality of life issues.

This book provides an authoritative, up-to-date reference for medical and paramedical practitioners, and will be a useful resource for specialist clinics and trainees and patients.
