Neuro-Oncology

Neuro-Oncology—a new title in the Blue Books of Practical Neurology series—is a concise and clinically applicable guide to this dynamic subspecialty. Jeremy Rees, PhD, MRCP and Patrick Y. Wen, MD present the most current information on the treatment and management of primary CNS tumors, secondary brain tumors, and the neurological complications of other cancers and their therapies in a format and scope appealing to both the general neurologist and the subspecialist.

"Contributors from neurology, from oncology, and especially from the overlap between the two, review the pathology, genetics, and radiological and clinical features of benign and malignant tumors of the nervous system. Their topics include the pathology and molecular genetics of common brain tumors, malignant gliomas in adults, low grade astrocytomas, pediatric neuro-oncology, the managing intramedullary spinal cord tumors, medical complications in the management of brain tumor, brain metastases, neoplastic meningitis, the neurotoxicity of chemotherapy, paraneoplastic disorders, and neurological complications of bone marrow and organ transplantation."
