Recenzje

"This monograph devoted to management of particular concepts in adrenal masses, including some pediatric conditions, has an emphasis throughout on new concepts of pathophysiology and treatment. ... This is a book for specialists, including those in training. It will be most valuable to those in the nonsurgical specialties, and to those dealing with adult patients. ... This book adds to the body of literature on this subject by providing a summary of modern insights into pathogenesis, genetics, and imaging."
