Cancer of the thyroid gland may be a less common condition than carcinoma of the breast, lung, or colon, but it occurs with suf?cient frequency to constitute a major problem that is of concern to general practitioners, physicians, and particularly s- geons.Some idea of the frequency of thyroid carcinoma is given by its incidence in the United States. Every year some 26,000 patients are diagnosed there as suffering from thyroid cancer.Comparable ?gures apply to most countries in Europe although the in- dence does vary somewhat from country to country,perhaps depending on the endo- nous iodine intake.Of the 21,000 patients diagnosed annually in the United States,two thirds will be women,and some 800 will die of the disease during the year. This book should do much to improve the outcome in the treatment of thyroid cancer. First because it is written by a small team of experts of international repute. Secondly their wide experience of the condition allows them to write with authority and thirdly they express their views in clear and commendable English.

The new edition of this book highlights the recent advances and state-of-the art in surgical and non-surgical management of thyroid cancer. Readers will learn about the latest advances and recommendations in the field, from molecular studies and biomarkers to the changing epidemiology, kinase inhibition in drug discovery and new surgical approaches, such as intra-operative neural monitoring and robotics. The management of differentiated thyroid cancer as well as childhood cancer, survivorship and clinical trial design and findings and how these fit into cancer management are discussed in detail.This comprehensive volume provides an overview of the current world literature and outlines the practical aspects of management from world leaders in this field and helps clinicians and patients on practical matters. With a selection of authors from around the world it draws on international experience giving a global perspective to the topic. Following on from the success of the firstedition, it uses a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach centered on the patient, discussing guidelines and how these have improved the quality of care and outcomes. This guide is aimed mainly at thyroidologists of all disciplines, (in training or experts) students, non-specialist clinicians, nursing staff, all the disciplines involved in a multidisciplinary team such as surgeons – Head & Neck or Endocrine and General Surgeons,  Oncologists, Endocrinologists, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, Nuclear Medicine Physicists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Specialist  Nurses, Geneticists, Clinical Psychologists, Palliative Care Physicians and, of course, patients.

Written by leading world experts, this third edition embraces the philosophy of international collaboration and disseminates the latest advances and transformative changes in the field of thyroid cancer.It provides a global health perspective, striving towards a uniform, equitable, evidence-based, cost-effective, practical, and patient-centred approach with high quality care crossing geographical boundaries. This book covers controversial issues and the most up-to-date management of differentiated, medullary, anaplastic, and rarer types of thyroid cancers together with survivorship issues and the lessons learnt during the Covid-19 Pandemic.The molecular landscape of thyroid cancers has a high frequency of oncogenic driver mutations and a high frequency of gene fusions treatable by new gene-specific systemic therapies. These include dual MAPK (Dabrafenib) / MEK (Trametinib) inhibition in BRAF V 600E mutated Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer, Larotrectinib, Entrectinib for NTRKgene fusion, Selpercartinib, Pralsetinib for RET fusion and mutations. These, newer and Master protocol trials, Tumour Agnostic drug development, Immune Checkpoint blockade and CAR-T therapy etc are discussed.The latest NICE and African Guidelines for Management are included. This would be of interest to readers as well.This book is aimed at thyroidologists of all disciplines, (in training or experts) students, non-specialist clinicians, nursing staff, all the disciplines involved in a multidisciplinary team such as surgeons - Head & Neck or Endocrine and General Surgeons, Oncologists, Endocrinologists, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, Nuclear Medicine Physicists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Specialist Nurses, Geneticists, Clinical Psychologists, Palliative Care Physicians and, in addition to AI in medicine, telemedicine experts, health policy makers, and scientists.
