Recensioner i media

“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.” (Carol Scott‐Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
