Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: "The diagnosis and treatment of all major
diseases of the anterior pituitary are covered in detail in this book,
with an emphasis on the different types of pituitary adenomas. … This
book is addressed primarily to practicing endocrinologists, though it
will be helpful for all physicians taking care of patients with
pituitary diseases. … is an excellent choice for endocrinologists and
other physicians looking for a single book on pituitary disorders. It is
a well written and comprehensive update on both diagnosis and
treatment." (Ronald N Cohen, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)
