Author Description

A concise snapshot of the current knowledge in pulmonary endocrinology: the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of that part of the diffuse endocrine system that populates the pulmonary epithelium. The rapid advances in the field will quickly make many of the details out-of-date, but the core knowledge should hold up for awhile. The treatment is nonspecialist, in order to be accessible not only to pathologists, physicians, and surgeons from various fields who work in pulmonary endocrinology or oncology, but also to readers with only a basic knowledge of medical science.
