Product Description
Book Description
It has been over 100 years since the first patient was treated for acromegaly. In 1893 the rudimentary treatment consisted of raising a skull flap to relieve headaches. The patient died three months later. Treatment is now much more sophisticated, involving a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and drug therapy. The indications for each of these have now become clearer and treatment in the majority of patients is indicated because life expectancy is reduced with active acromegaly. This text gathers many of the world's leading researchers on acromegaly - physicians, surgeons and radiotherapists - to present data relating to various treatments. It also discusses the best methods for treating individual patients with the aim of formulating a rationale for treatment. The book should interest physicians, endocrinologists and surgeons involved in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary disorders.
