Pituitary Tumors: A Comprehensive and Interdisciplinary Approach provides the latest information on preclinical issues, diagnostic procedures, treatment options and post-treatment care for patients with pituitary tumors. The book includes basic and advanced knowledge for a broad audience, including physicians, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, neuro-pathologists, oncologists, radiotherapists and researchers who are investigating pituitary tumors. Readers will find the latest research surrounding progress on uncoding the molecular mechanisms involved in tumor genesis. In addition, standard treatment modalities, including surgery, medical treatment and radiosurgery are explored.

Petersenn, Stephan
Stephan Petersenn, MD, ENDOC Center for Endocrine Tumors, Hamburg, Germany. Prof. Stephan Petersenn studied medicine at the University of Kiel, Germany (1984-1987 and 1988-1990) and the University of Vienna, Austria (1987-1988). He is qualified in Internal Medicine (1999), Diabetology (1999), Endocrinology (2000), and Andrology (2007). Previously, he worked in an internship (1991-1992) in the Department of Medicine, University of Kiel, as a Research Fellow (1992-1994) to Professor S Melmed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA, as a Resident and Fellow (1995-2000) in the Department of Medicine, University of Hamburg, and as a Senior Physician (2001-2009) in the Division of Endocrinology, University of Duisburg-Essen. In 2009, he founded the ENDOC Center for Endocrine Tumors in Hamburg, while remaining a member of the faculty of the University of Duisburg-Essen. In 2003, he became Associate Professor, and in 2008 Professor of Medicine, at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His research is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary and adrenal tumors, as well as neuroendocrine tumors. Furthermore, his clinical and basic studies aim for a better understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of somatostatin receptors. Throughout his career, Prof Petersenn has published more than 160 articles in peer-reviewed journals of high reputation, and he has presented at many international conferences. He is a member of several societies, including the Endocrine society, the European Society of Endocrinology, and the International Pituitary Society.

Reincke, Martin
Martin Reincke is Professor of Endocrinology and Chair of Medical Department IV of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, a leading institution in German academic medicine.
His research specialties include endocrine hypertension, mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid action, and stress research. Professor Reincke is a clinician-scientist at heart. He heads a research team that specifically explores the prevalence and relevance of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid excess on the epidemiological, clinical, genetic, and molecular levels. He is co-founder of the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors (ENSAT), established in 2000. In 2009, he founded the German Primary Aldosteronism Registry, and in 2012, the German Cushing Registry. Professor Reincke is a member of many national and international societies, including the Endocrine Society and the European Society of Endocrinology. He has served on the Executive Board of the German Endocrine Society and European Society of Endocrinology, is on the editorial boards of several international journals, and has served as Teaching Dean of the Faculty from 2006 to 2012 and as president of the German Endocrine Society (2014-2017). Prof. Reincke won the prestigious European Research Council Advanced Grant Award (2.5 million ?) in 2016. He is currently President-Elect of the European Society of Endocrinology. His publications include more than 490 MEDLINE-listed manuscripts, which have been cited >12,500 times, and his h-index is 61 (ISI Web of Science).
