Atlas of Clinical Oncology - Endocrine Tumors

Atlas of Clinical Oncology - Endocrine Tumors
By American Cancer Society (9.34 MB file)

Preface:
Surgical endocrinology or endocrine surgical oncology is an important component of general surgery and in some areas of head and neck surgery. As reported in Richard Welbourne’s book History of Endocrine Surgery, the term “endocrine” is from the Greek endo, meaning within, and kpiveiv, meaning “separate,” documenting the relationship of endocrine surgery and general surgery. Endocrine glands and tumors often make and secrete hormones; “hormone” is a term derived from the Greek word “to excite.” Theodur Kocher and Theodor Bilroth contributed much to general surgery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of their writings and medical contributions concerned thyroid surgery.

Today endocrine surgeons traditionally operate on patients with tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal and endocrine pancreas, as well as on carcinoid or neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Virtually all organs of the body, including gastrointestinal tracts, heart, kidney, and skin, secrete hormones, so endocrine surgery could include all of general surgery.

During the past decade, there have been numerous advances in our understanding of the etiology of endocrine tumors, the ability to identify some endocrine tumors such as medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type II, and MEN type I by screening family members of these patients for RET or MENIN mutations, respectively. This enables these individuals to know whether they are at risk of developing these tumors. In some individuals prophylactic treatment can then be done before cancer develops.

Blood testing for tumor markers and hormones such as thyroglobulin, calcitonin, gastrin, serotonin, and chromogranin also helps with tumor diagnosis and for follow-up care. Provocative testing of patients with possible tumors with calcium, pentagastrin, and recombinant thyroid-stimulating hormone helps to unmask or identify occult tumors, as do various localization tests.

Advances in preoperative tumor localization tests and intraoperative parathyroid hormone testing have resulted in a dramatic change in the surgical approach to patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. More epidemiologic and clinical information is also available that provides evidence-based medicine supporting parathyroidectomy
even in “asymptomatic” patients with mild hypercalcemia.
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are now two of the most common indications for parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Major advances have also occurred both in our understanding of how to select patients with incidentally discovered (incidentalomas) adrenal tumors, for operation, and in the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal incidentalomas. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the treatment of choice for patients with small to moderate (less than 6 cm) adrenal tumors.

The current book is by experts in the field of endocrine surgery and provides up-to-date information on the management of patients with endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors.

Color Atlas Of Pathophysiology (Thieme flexibook)

Color Atlas Of Pathophysiology (Thieme flexibook)
Written By S.Silbernagl & F.Lang (71.4 MB file)

Pathophysiology describes the mechanisms which lead from the primary cause via individual malfunctions to a clinical picture and its possible complications. Knowledge of these mechanisms serves patients when the task is to develop a suitable therapy, alleviate symptoms, and avert imminent resultant damage caused by the disease.

The aim in writing this Atlas of Pathophysiology was to address students of medicine, both prior to and during their clinical training, and also qualified doctors as well as their coworkers in the caring and therapeutic professions and to provide them with a clear overview in words and pictures of the core knowledge of modern pathophysiology and aspects of pathobiochemistry. Readers must themselves be the judge of the extent to which we have achieved this; we would be happy to receive any critical comments and ideas.

The book begins with the fundamentals of the cell mechanism and abnormalities thereof as well as cell division, cell death, tumor growth, and aging. It then covers a wide range of topics, from abnormalities of the heat and energy balance, via the pathomechanisms of diseases of the blood, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, heart and circulation, and of the metabolism, including endocrinal abnormalities, diseases of the musculature, the senses, and the peripheral and central nervous system.

Following a short review of the fundamentals of physiology, the causes, course, symptoms, and arising complications of disease processes are described along with, if necessary, the possibilities of therapeutic intervention. The selective further reading list will assist the interested reader wishing to gain more indepth knowledge, and a detailed subject index, which is also a list of abbreviations, aims to assist rapid findings of topics and terminology.
