The American Cancer Society recently estimated that about 45,000
new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the United States,
with three-quarters occurring in women. The overall 5-year survival
rate is about 97%, making it one of the least lethal cancers. We
are experiencing an epidemic of well-differentiated thyroid cancer,
in part due to the widespread use of imaging modalities that detect
thyroid nodules and microcarcinomas. Concurrently, there have been
a number of recent advances in surgical treatment, as well as
diagnostic modalities that allow us to detect small amounts of
residual local and metastatic disease. Additionally, a
reexamination of past treatment regimens has led to new
recommendations regarding the use of radioactive iodine, and to new
therapeutic options, such as targeted therapy which have supplanted
the use of more toxic chemotherapy for metastatic cancer. Multiple
academic organizations have developed consensus guidelines for the
management of thyroid cancer, occasionally with conflicting
recommendations. In Thyroid Cancer, a renowned group of authors
presents a broad overview of the pathology, pathophysiology,
diagnosis, and management of thyroid cancer, with an emphasis on
recent evidence-based information. State-of-the-art and a
significant contribution to the literature, Thyroid Cancer is an
invaluable reference for endocrinologists, oncologists, nuclear
medicine physicians, radiation oncologists, primary care
physicians, and surgeons who deal with head and neck cancer.
