This volume represents the premier work devoted solely to the complex myriad of mediastinal tumors. The contributors to the state-of-the-art text are clinical investigators of international renown. The diagnosis, natural history, and therapeutic strategies in respect of all mediastinal tumors are thoroughly addressed in a concise and logical manner. An emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of mediastinal tumors is thematic throughout the text. Moreover, the combined-modality treatment schemes that have been increasingly developed worldwide are analyzed. This textbook will prove of value to all general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pulmonologists, and endocrinologists, as well as to nursing and medical students, residents and fellows-in training.
This volume, written by thoracic surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and radiologists experienced in specific mediastinal tumors, aims to consolidate the up until now scattered literature and to provide a concise guide to state-of-the-art diagnosis and management. Recent advances in diagnostic techniques are fully covered, as are the improvements in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
