Malattie del fegato delle vie biliari e del pancreas
Giovanni Gasbarrini, Antonio Morelli
editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 601
"Quello di cui mi accingo a presentare, il volume dedicato alle "Malattie del fegato, delle vie biliari e del pancreas" nella sua rinnovata edizione, è stato un importantissimo documento per lo studio di intere generazioni di Medici, rappresentando un'opera in cui molte importanti Scuole italiane hanno insegnato, obiettivamente, lo stato dell'arte delle conoscenze, riportando, ad un tempo, la loro opinione e la loro esperienza. Negli ultimi anni le nozioni sulle malattie epato-biliari e pancreatiche, anche quelle da considerarsi essenziali per poter affrontare correttamente la diagnosi e la terapia della patologia di questi organi ed apparati, si sono più che decuplicate, e ciò, in particolare, negli studi epidemiologici e nello sviluppo delle tecniche morfologiche, biochimiche, radioimmunologiche e di biologia molecolare, nei campi della immunologia, della genetica e delle immagini, sulla base del progresso tecnologico che ha coinvolto la strumentistica e l'affinamento delle modalità della ricerca."
Primary Carcinomas of the Liver
Hero Hussain, Isaac R. Francis
editore: Cambridge University Press
pagine: 254
Primary carcinomas of the liver are increasing in incidence in the developed world, probably due to dietary and environmental factors as well as the known role of infective agents such as Hepatitis C. They are usually diagnosed in the advanced stages and carry high morbidity and mortality. This volume summarises the latest developments in imaging of primary hepatic carcinomas, emphasising the multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients. In addition to extensive chapters on the radiological issues surrounding diagnosis and staging of the malignancies, individual chapters on epidemiology, pathology, and surgical and non-surgical treatment options are included. All treatment options are considered for both HCC and cholangiocarcinoma, including newer techniques such as TACE. Only by a well orchestrated multidisciplinary team approach including epidemiologists, diagnostic radiologists, hepatologists, oncologic surgeons, radiation oncologists, and pathologists can these complex malignancies be managed successfully.
