Summary

The topics range from fundamental studies of DNA replication, chromosomal and nuclear function through growth factor control of endocrine tumor initiation and progression. The basic and translational insights gained from this book will be of interest to those studying the biology of endocrine tumors, as well as those deriving novel therapeutic approaches for these benign and malignant disorders.
