This issue of Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, guest edited by Dr. James Howe, is devoted to Management of GI and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors. Dr. Howe has assembled expert authors to review the following topics: Introduction and History of GI and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEPNETs); Surgical Management of Colorectal Neuroendocrine Tumors; Management of Metastatic GEPNETs; Pathologic considerations in GEPNETs; Medical Management of GEPNETs; Workup of GEPNETs; Peptide Radioreceptor Therapy (PRRT); Surgical Management of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumors; The Role of Functional Imaging in GEPNETs; Surgical Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors; Surgical Management of Other Gastric and Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumors; and more!

This volume provides the first comprehensive review of the surgical anatomy of the groin in over 30 years. The text also provides a detailed review of considerations for all disciplines involved with the management of neoplasms potentially involving the inguinal lymph node basin as well as describing, in detail, the complications which can occur if one’s understanding of these issues is limited. Epidemiology and the historical context in the evolution of our understanding of this anatomic area is covered along with lymphedema, one of the most concerning risks of groin surgery. Additionally, a thorough discussion of the management of all malignancies known to affect the inguinal region and quality of life is discussed.Malignancies of the Groin will be an invaluable text for any surgeon who operates on diseases of the skin, genitourinary tract, soft tissue or gynecologic tract. It will be an important adjunct for the radiation oncologist and the reconstructive surgeon and be equally useful for nurses, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners and other clinicians who care for patients undergoing treatment for malignancies involving the groin.   The editors have compiled an international group of thought leaders in their respective disciplines to provide a broad ranging context for many of the issues that concern clinicians managing diseases affecting the inguinal region.  This multidisciplinary array of authors will allow for cross-pollination of ideas from one field to another.
