Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This completely updated new edition covers all the basics of neuro-oncology in a format that offers quick acess to information. You'll find penetrating analysis of epidemiology, pathology, imaging and other investigation, and all aspects of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and biological therapy of gliomas, metastatic disease, and selected other tumors. Each chapter is written by a well-respected authority in the field and reflects the editorial vision of two neuro-oncology's leading researchers and practitioners.

This book truly does provide all the essentials in neuro-oncology. While written for the clinician, it is understandable by a determined, somewhat informed non-clinician.
Its only fault is that of many printed books. There are so many advances in medicine and technology that the reader needs to supplement the book with medical journals to be truly up to date.
I recommend brain tumour patients who would like a technical view of neuro-oncology get it through inter-library loan from their nearest library.
I'm a patient with a glioblastoma grade IV. I was lucky enough to be operated on by Dr. Berger, one of the best neurosurgeons in the United States.
Rated by buyers -
Recommended audience: Neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, neurologists, and radiation oncologists.
This is a new book written in eight sections covering most of the important aspects in Neuro-oncology including tumour biology, patient evaluation, surgical strategies, radiation therapy and the novel chemotherapeutic and biological modalities. With its special features, namely pearls, pitfalls, controversies, and special consideration, the salient points and issues in each chapter are highlighted for the reader. The last two sections in the book deal with specific problems and some related issues in Neuro-oncology. The book is printed in two-tone format and contains abundant illustrations. This is a unique book in the quickly changing field of Neuro-Oncology.
Hassan A Al-Shatoury, M.D.
