About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This volume in the series, Tumors of the Central Nervous System, explores recent developments in tumor biology and newer classification and treatment information for seven distinct types of brain tumors. … The book is written for oncologists, both fellows and practitioners, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, neuropathologists, and neurosurgeons. … In addition to providing an update, the book can also inspire a new generation of researchers in tumor biology and in the design of more effective and scientifically based chemotherapy.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2012)Editors and Affiliations
