Summary:

This volume focuses on the present state of biological research as well as the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system neoplasia. The section concerning Biology and Diagnosis describes the aspect related to brain tumour classification and neuro-radiological diagnosis. Papers on oncogenes and growth factor expression are also included. The role of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as new therapeutic approaches, is described in the section on Therapy of Gliomas. Neuro-Oncology presents an up-to-date review of research on biological studies and the treatment of meningiomas, neuronomas, craniopharingiomas, pinealomas, metastatic tumours, and cerebral tumours in children written by some of the most respected neurosurgeons in the world. The book is recommended not only to neurosurgeons and neurologists, but also to all researchers actively working in the field of neuro-oncology.
