I was very disappointed after buying this book. Not to mention this book cost me nearly 200 U. S. dollars. Anyway, money is not the matter. If after reading this book it really helps me to manage Thyroid Cancer patient better, even two thousand dollars are worth of that. The problem is that the title is totally mis-leading. Howe can it be called a comprehensive textbook on treating Thyroid Cancer?? For a comprehensive book, like DeVita's Cancer, princple and practice of oncology, Harrison's textbook on Internal Medicine, or Henry Kaplan's Hodgkin's Lymphoma these are the true all time classics or what we call " bible " on these subjects. Concerning this book, I think a chapter on thyroid cancer from any standard textbook of cancer covers as much, if not more than it. Just take one example, it did not mention a single word on how to treat patient with recurrence in neck node or at least give us a guidline for that. All other related topics are very briefly given and some are not touched at all. I hope Mazzaferri's textbook or other larger textbook on thyroid cancer can actully do the job it should be. A real " comprehensive "textbook for reference for the managment of CA Thyroid.
