From the book reviews:
This is an up to date reference on the surgical, chemotherapy, and radiosurgery of gliomas, both low and high grade neoplasms. I highly recommend this book for neurosurgeons, oncologists, radiation researchers, fellows and students. (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, October, 2014)
In this book, the authors aim to comprehensibly describe new findings, as well as established facts, and to discuss their influence on current and possible future therapies. this is a well written book on current advances in the field of neuro-oncology. It is worth reading for basic researchers working in the field of neuro-oncology, as well as neuro-oncologists and neurosurgeons.
