Autoimmune and malignant thyroid diseases.

摘要

Within the last decade much knowledge has been gained in our understanding of the etiology and the pathogenesis of autoimmune and malignant thyroid diseases. Based on that, many new diagnostic tools as well as treatment options have occurred, which have now already been applied to patients either on a routine or an experimental level. For this Special Issue of Hormone and Metabolic Research, we requested leading scientists in the thyroid field to contribute research articles within their area of expertise, thereby covering a broad field of thyroid research.
