The tumors that arise in the adrenals and extra-adrenal paraganglia are not only structurally and hormonally complex, they are also intriguing at the molecular level, where many are recognized as components and harbingers of familial genetic tumor syndromes encompassing a variety of mutations affecting diverse signaling pathways. Building on the ......

Manifesting Illness and Impairment in Graphic Pathography
In Show Me Where It Hurts, Monica Chiu argues that graphic pathography-long-form comics by and about subjects who suffer from disease or are impaired-re-vitalizes and re-visions various negatively affected corporeal states through hand-drawn images. By the body and for the body, the medium is subversive and reparative, and it stands in ......
The complexity of ovary and fallopian tube pathology is striking, with dozens of tumor types. There is a greater appreciation now of the importance of hereditary cancer syndromes in ovarian and tubal malignancies, as two common autosomal dominant hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes include carcinomas of ovary or fallopian tube. This book is ......
