Best book on thyroid cancer by Paul R. Zimmer (Roseville, California, USA)  5 Stars
August 11, 2007
I checked out half a dozen books from the medical library on thyroid cancer, and this is the only one I BOUGHT. Dr. McDougall's writing is clear and very readable (I'm an engineer, not a doctor, by the way). I particularly like his style of showing both sides in areas of controversy, complete with data for both sides as well as giving his own opinion and experiences. Pretty much every aspect of TC is covered, and the chapter on TC in children is particularly good.
