Trama

The field of Neuro-Oncology has exploded in the last 10 to 15 years and now has a rather extensive literature, including numerous specialty books. However, there is not a "single-source" book that summarizes the current literature and future trends regarding the use of chemotherapy in this patient population. This book now fills this void and serves as an important addition to the armamentarium of physicians that care for patients with brain tumors. The target audience would be neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, oncologists, neurologists, and oncological researchers with an interest in the development and application of chemotherapy to brain tumor patients.




Note Editore

Treatment of patients with a brain tumor remains one of the most challenging and difficult areas of modern oncology. Recent advances in the molecular biology of these neoplasms have improved our understanding of the malignant phenotype and have lead to the development of novel forms of chemotherapy, including "targeted agents. The Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy reviews the state-of-the-art of chemotherapy development and clinical treatment of patients with this devastating disease.
Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy offers a unique cutting-edge compendium of basic science and clinical information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy, reviewing what has been accomplished thus far and how the field will continue to evolve with the development of more specific and efficacious chemotherapeutic agents. This book represents the most complete single-volume resource available for information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy.

* Provides the most up to date information regarding conventional forms of cytotoxic chemotherapy, as well as the basic science and clinical application of molecular therapeutics, for the treatment of brain tumors
* Broadly appeals to anyone interested in the field of Neuro-Oncology and in the treatment of patients with brain tumors
* Useful to clinicians interested in a thorough overview of the use of chemotherapy in patients with a broad range of brain tumors as well as serving as a source of background information to basic scientists and pharmaceutical researchers with an interest in the molecular therapeutics of brain tumors
