Diagnosis and treatment modalities for neuro-oncologic diseases have made considerable advances in recent years. There is hardly a segment of the field of solid tumours that is experiencing such dynamic development with regard to basic scientific findings and clinical results. In the present book the world's leading experts have compiled the current practice-relevant knowledge of neuro-oncologic deseases. The book's clear structure and the uniform presentation of all chapters make this volume a valuable reference, especially for practice-oriented activities, allowing swift access to information about current treatment standards. Hence it will be of great value to both clinicians and researchers.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The aim of the editors of this first edition was to provide a topical and practical reference for all those interested in neuro-oncology. … The book provides a useful source of information on modern diagnosis and treatment, both in children and adults. Where there is lack of consensus on optimal management this is well discussed and reviewed, with recent changes in practice being incorporated. … the book is a useful addition to neuro-oncology, probably appealing most to the neuro-surgical trainee … ." (Carmel Loughrey, Oncology News, Vol. 1 (3), 2006)
"This book is one of the few that devote equal attention to topics in pediatric and adult neuro-oncology. … Neuro-Oncology of CNS Tumors has a pleasing appearance and is easy to read. … An ample number of pathological and surgical photomicrographs are reproduced clearly and in excellent color. … The broad scope of this book may appeal to students of adult or pediatric oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, or radiation oncology." (Lias M. DeAngelis, The New England Journal of Medicine, July, 2006)
