Presents updated and comprehensive explanations of thyroid tumors, NET and tumor cells Written by experts from different laboratory and clinical areas, allowing us to relate laboratory data to clinical applications Provide economic data (including simulations and sensitivity analysis) as part of a modern approach to medical diagnosis (“choosing wisely medicine”) This book highlights the increase in thyroid tumors and NET and demonstrates the growing importance of circulating markers in diagnosis as well as treatment and follow-up. Dramatic technical improvements have heightened the clinical impact of well-established, conventional biochemical markers. In addition, more recent genetic and molecular approaches have provided innovative molecular markers. In this context, effective communication between clinicians and laboratory physicians/scientists is essential in allowing all those involved to fully profit from these exciting advances. In this comprehensive, up-to-date book, authors fr
