About this book
Reviews
"Brain Tumor Immunotherapy is a unique text in its compilation of current knowledge and experimental events from an authoritative panel of researchers and clinicians who describe the ongoing trends in immunotherapy research as promising therapeutic tools for the treatment of brain tumors....The basic concepts necessary to understanding immunotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of brain tumors are superbly presented in Part II....A concise but excellent overview of the immune system as applied to the central nervous system, this chapter presents the issues that later chapters deal with, namely heterogeneity of tumors, "restricted" immunological privilege, antigen-presenting mechanisms, and cellular immunogenic responses of the central nervous system, as well as the potential risk of allergic encephalomyelitis induction." - Journal of Neurosurgery
