From the reviews:

The purpose is to present a comprehensive overview of all aspects concerning thyroid cancer. The author does a particularly good job of reviewing the entire literature of thyroid cancer, in particular the literature that pertains to controversies in the treatment of thyroid cancer. He does a wonderful job of addressing these controversies. The sections of the book dealing with nuclear medicine issues are particularly outstanding. The author has done a great job of discussing all aspects of thyroid cancer, and the book clearly meets the objectives. I also enjoyed the fact that this book represents one individual's understanding of thyroid cancer, not a book written by a committee.
