Ciba Foundation Colloquia on Endocrinology, Volume XII
The Ciba Colloquia on Endocrinology continue to provide the most penetrating discussions available on specific endocrine topics. Volume XII of this series is devoted exclusively to a consideration of functional tumors of the endocrine glands. The volume contains 20 formal presentations of work carried on by leading American and European investigators. Each report brings together in a meaningful way observations which are scattered throughout various technical journals. Each paper is followed by a verbatim transcript of the discussion which ensued. Frequently the discussion proved to be more illuminating than the original presentation. Secreting tumors of the endocrine glands occur spontaneously with considerable frequency in laboratory animals.
