DESCRIZIONE

Neuro-oncology is increasingly recognized as an important subspecialty field devoted to the care of patients with cancer involving the nervous system. It requires a detailed understanding of basic tumor biology governing formation of the wide variety of primary brain tumors. However, it requires an equal understanding of the brain, how it reacts to disease, its treatment and how it repairs itself after injury. This monograph addresses the common oncologic problems that arise within the nervous system such as gliomas and brain metastases, as well as the common neurotoxicities of oncologic therapy for systemic cancers and the consequences of cancer therapy on the brain.
