Neuroendocrine tumors, although relatively rare, have gained increasing importance in recent years due to advances in diagnostic methods and treatment options. A multidisciplinary approach plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of these tumors. The collaboration of various specialties—including surgery, medical oncology, radiology, nuclear medicine, gastroenterology, and pathology—ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment plan.
This book, “Modern Approaches and Recent Advances in Neuroendocrine Tumors,” has been prepared to comprehensively address different aspects of this field. It covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental principles and diagnostic techniques to the characteristics of regional tumors and current treatment strategies. Each chapter has been carefully prepared by experts in their respective fields, aiming to provide readers with both theoretical knowledge and practical guidance for clinical application.
Our goal is for this book to serve as a reliable reference source for physicians interested in neuroendocrine tumors and to contribute to the collective knowledge in this field within our country.
With the hope of advancing science and providing a better future for our patients…
