Leading physicians from a variety of medical specialties summarize
their clinical experiences in treating pituitary adenomas in United
States and the United Kingdom. Using simple language to describe
their approaches, the authors describe the latest treatments for
prolactinoma, acromegaly, Cushing's disease, and nonfunctioning
pituitary tumors, and the latest surgical techniques. To round out
the clinician's understanding of the illness, a patient describes
the experience of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
Comprehensive and accessible, Management of Pituitary Tumors: The
Clinician's Practical Guide brings together all the medical fields
involved in treating pituitary tumors, both for novices in the
specialties that manage these cases, and for pituitary specialists
seeking to understand better the contribution of other medical
disciplines to the treatment of these tumors.
This book presents, in a stepwise and interactive fashion,
approximately 75 cases that reflect the wide spectrum of pathology
encountered in this region. Each case description commences with a
concise clinical scenario. High-quality radiologic, laboratory, and
histopathologic images depicting the differentiating features of
the lesion subtype in question are then presented, and key
operative and clinical management pearls are briefly reviewed. The
interdisciplinary nature of this easy-to-use color atlas and
textbook reflects the fact that the management of patients with
sellar and parasellar lesions is itself often interdisciplinary.
The format is unique in that no similar interdisciplinary book is
available on lesions of this region of the brain. Atlas of Sellar
and Parasellar Lesions: Clinical, Imaging, and Pathologic
Correlations is of great value for practitioners and trainees in a
range of medical specialties, including radiology, neurology,
endocriniology, pathology, oncology, radiation oncology, and
neurosurgery.

Cushing's Disease: An Often Misdiagnosed and Not So Rare Disorder
reviews the epidemiology of Cushing's, including statistics on the
incidence and prevalence of this disease. There are discussions of
the signs and symptoms and the most common co-morbidities, such as
diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, amenorrhea, and
infertility. Surgical, medical, and radiotherapeutic treatments,
including indications, results, risks, and complications, are
reviewed. Also featured is a chapter on the patient's perspective,
coping with Cushing's, quality of life, and psychosomatic issues.
This book is essential reading for the wide range of physicians who
treat patients with Cushing's disease symptoms, as well as
biomedical researchers who investigate the etiology and mechanisms
of rare genetic diseases, in particular rare endocrine disorders.
