- Summary:
- This book summarizes recent advances in the morphology and genetics of tumors of the human nervous system. This new initiative reflects the fact that increasingly, human neoplasms are no longer classified on the basis of histological and immunohistochemical criteria alone; rather, for an increasing number of neoplasms, genetic typing has become essential. More than 50 expert neuropathologists and geneticists have contributed articles to this volume. These were reviewed at a consensus and editorial meeting in Lyon in May 1997. The book is lavishly illustrated, with around 100 pages of color plates and charts. It also includes a comprehensive reference list.
