About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“The purpose is to provide the latest literature on aggressive primary and metastatic brain tumors, in addition to their surgical and nonsurgical management. The audience includes practicing neurosurgeons, neurologists, oncologists and radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuroscientists. … This volume chooses some challenging topics in brain tumors, rendering good reviews and discussing both conventional teaching and new concepts.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2014)
“This is the 13th volume in a whole series on the pathology, radiographic history, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant and nonmalignant brain tumors. As part of the series, this is an outstanding discussion of brain tumors including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy of CNS tumors. I recommend this book to neurooncologists and neurosurgeons.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, July, 2014)
