There is little literature on digestive and thoracic endocrine tumors. The complexity of their management, often entrusted to different specialists, the multiplicity of terminologies used to designate them, the diversity of their locations and their characterization explain this lack of work. A synthesis of clinical knowledge relating to these pathologies was therefore necessary; requirement reinforced by the arrival of new imaging techniques and new treatments. This book takes the gamble of a transversal approach to the study of these tumors while emphasizing their common characteristics; once the clinical and prognostic characteristics have been stated, the authors study the different therapeutic weapons.
