Cushing’s Syndrome
Cushing's Syndrome provides the reader with an update on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with Cushing's syndrome. Molecular mechanisms of pituitary and adrenal causes of Cushing's syndrome are reviewed in detail. Successful diagnostic and treatment strategies that have been employed by readers in the field are recommended and discussed. Numerous advances in the pathophysiology and diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome speak to the timeliness of this volume that has been penned by experts in the field.
Cushing's Disease
In Cushing’s Disease, leading authorities in the field offer a thorough review of the pathogenesis, diagnostic algorithm and treatment options for this complex disease. Beginning with a fascinating history of Cushing's disease that outlines its historical significance to both endocrinology and neurosurgery, the book goes onto to cover the full range of important issues, including the molecular pathogenesis of Cushing’s, anatomic pathology, the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome, the differential of pseudo-Cushing's syndromes, hypercortisolemia, surgical removal of the corticotroph adenoma, post-operative management and assessment of remission, radiotherapeutic options, and the exciting deve...
Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Endocrine Organs
This vol. was produced in collaboration with the International Academy of Pathology (IAP). - This publication reflects the views of a working group that convened for an editorial and consensus conference in Lyon, France, April 23-26, 2003
Adrenocortical Carcinoma
We anticipate the book to be a definitive text on the subject that explores all aspects of the study of adrenal cancer and the treatment of patients with the disease. Chapters will cover epidemiology, pathogenesis, genetics, cancer stem cells, historic and emerging therapies, mouse models of adrenal cancer, new developments in tumor profiling, worldwide collaborative groups and tumor registries together with resources for the practitioner and community of adrenal cancer scientists. We do not wish this book to compete with the other larger books in the Endocrine and Endocrine Surgery literature. In addition, it is not expected to cover benign adrenal diseases that have been covered in detail in other venues. We envision this book to be a very specialized and exhaustive text on basic, translational and clinical aspects of adrenal cancer.

Pituitary Adenomas
Disciplines as diverse as neurosurgery and neuroendocrinology, radiology and pharmacology are directly interested in new trends in basic and clinical research in the area of pituitary tumors. A multidisciplinary forum thus provided the backdrop to the Fifth European Workshop on Pituitary Adenomas from which the manuscripts of invited lectures are collected in this volume. Dr Seymour Reichlin's main lecture presents the current view and most recent advances concerning the much debated pathogenesis of pituitary tumors. Other distinguished scientists cover topics concerning hypothalamic-pituitary regulatory mechanisms, biology, morphology, hormonal investigations, imaging and management of pituitary adenomas. Two Round Tables were devoted to the management of prolactinomas with new dopaminergic agents and recurrences of pituitary tumors after surgery, and finally, a symposium was dedicated to the emerging problem of clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas.
Pituitary Adenomas
Hardbound. Disciplines as diverse as neurosurgery and neuroendocrinology, radiology and phamacology are directly interested in new trends in basic and clinical research in the area of pituitary tumors. Diagnostic procedures, as well as therapy guided by increasing knowledge in neuroscience have become more sophisticated, accurate and successful in recent years. A multidisciplinary forum thus provided the backdrop to the Sixth European Workshop on Pituitary Adenomas from which the manuscripts of invited lectures are collected in this volume. The Berlin workshop has followed the tradition of the previous workshops covering topics such as molecular biology, physiology, morphology, pharmacology, imaging techniques, neuroendocrinology and modern techniques in neurosurgery all focusing on pituitary tumors. This volume presents the new trends in basic and clinical research in the area.
