The goal of this book is to provide Endocrinologists, Surgeons, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, and Radiation Oncologists with practical advice about managing patients with thyroid cancer. This book will not replace the excellent publications that focus on a highly speci?c topic or provide an exhaustive review of major s- jects from the perspective of a particular specialty. These kinds of publications will always be an important source of information for both students and expe- enced practitioners. The void that we see is the lack of a single, concise, up-- date reference that is applicable to all of the specialists who make clinical de- sions about thyroid cancer patients. Essentials of Thyroid Cancer Management will ?ll this void in a manner that is both user-friendly and technically compreh- sive. For reading ef?ciency, this book contains the minimum of text required to explain how to make sound clinical decisions in speci?c situations. We rely heavily on tables, diagrams, graphs, photographs, and other ?gures to convey this information. Subjects are addressed in a large number of chapters that each focus on a relatively narrow topic. In some cases, there is overlap between the information in multiple different chapters so the reader does not have to page back and forth between different sections of the book. As occurs in every area of medicine, there is controversy about important issues in the management of thyroid cancer.

From new technology to the management of big data, and globalization of research, navigating the processes for preparing and conducting research studies involving human subjects is challenging and complicated. Designed to give Institutional Review Board (IRB) members the information they need to protect the rights and welfare of research subjects in a way that is both effective and efficient, the chapters of the Institutional Review Board: Member Handbook are short and to the point. Topic-specific chapters list the criteria IRB members should use to determine how to vote on specific kinds of studies and offer practical advice on what IRB members should do before and during full-committee meetings. The Fourth Edition includes the new federal guidelines for IRBs that went into effect in January 2019 and is an excellent accompaniment to Institutional Review Board: Management and Function, Third Edition (ISBN: 978-1-284-18115-9). The book has three sections: -Part 1: Preliminary Information contains background information on human subject research and a brief history of the IRB system -Part 2: The Full Committee IRB Meeting focuses on the research proposal review process -Part 3: Specific Topics covers advertising for research, conflict of interest, qualitative methods, informed consent, research involving children and prisoners, and deception of research subjects
