About this journal

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders is an international journal dedicated to students, clinicians and researchers involved in the broad area of endocrinology and metabolism. This field of medicine and biology is rapidly advancing and a major challenge is to keep abreast of the advances in the field.

The mission of this review journal is to keep those interested individuals informed of all the latest exciting advancements that are essential to their research or clinical practice.

The format of this review journal differs from existing journals. Each of the quarterly issues covers a specific topic. Ten to twelve articles will be published by world leaders in this area. The individual papers are brief overviews of the latest developments, with insight into the basic aspects of the disease and translation into clinical aspects. Thus the student, academic clinician and practicing clinician will be able to understand the disease process and apply this knowledge to his or her area of interest. Selected readings and other essential references will enable the reader to investigate a particular topic in a more in-depth approach.

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders considers both unsolicited and invited review articles for publication in the journal.

Test your knowledge with Case-Based Clinical Insights

Oncology and Hematology Cases

A 28-year-old male patient (188 cm, 72 kg) presents to the central emergency department with dorsal pain after returning from a trip to East Asia. He reports feeling a bit tired and listless without classic signs of infection. In the clinical examination, apart from an approximately fist-sized, deeply situated, sturdy and non-displaceable bulging of the abdominal wall sinistrally paraumbilically, a slight enlargement of the left testis with pain upon palpation is noticeable. What is your first suspicion, and what are your first diagnostic steps?

The 46-year-old male patient has been showing various signs of inflammation for 6–8 weeks: Sore throat, canker sores, joint pain and febrile rhinitis. There is an unintended weight loss of 2–3 kg. Physical examination reveals findings that are inconspicuous for the patient’s age. How do you proceed now?

A 76-year-old, overweight female patient with anaemia and type II diabetes noted by her family doctor presents with fatigue, forgetfulness and yellowish pallor in a neglected state. Moreover, she shows an increasingly unsteady gait. How do you proceed?

A 56-year-old man presents with concentration problems, dorsal pain, fatigue and a marked increase in urination. His family history is positive for bronchial carcinoma. Physical examination reveals tenderness upon percussion in the lumbar spine. How do you proceed?

Navigating the Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma

Insights on the Current Treatment Landscape and Managing Patient Health

In recent years, tremendous efforts have been made in the medical treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), with Immune-Oncological combinations standing as the current standard of care in the first-line setting of mRCC. 

In these podcasts, expert authors discuss the current treatment landscape for these new therapies and discuss what should be taken into account when choosing the most appropriate treatment for their patients so as to balance oncological outcomes, adverse events and quality of life.
