New Techniques for Management of Inoperable Gliomas Summary

New Techniques for Management of Inoperable Gliomas by Michael E. Sughrue (Associate Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia)

New Techniques for Management of 'Inoperable' Gliomas radically challenges the assumption that certain gliomas cannot be removed with modern techniques, contesting stereotypical thinking and establishing new paradigms in the field. Gliomas are primary brain tumors which are often fatal. Recent data has demonstrated that despite the fact that surgery cannot cure gliomas, patient survival is substantially improved by removing as much of the tumor as possible. This fact has raised the imperative that neurologists try to improve techniques to bring surgical resection to as many patients as possible. This book brings new insights and technologies to the forefront, giving hope to patients.
