Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Treatment of malignant glioma remains a major challenge for neurosurgeons, neurologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists caring for patients with these tumors. Glioblastoma multiforme, the most common type of brain tumor, is also the most deadly -- only five percent of patients or fewer will be alive at five years after diagnosis. This comprehensive new reference is edited by a renowned team consisting of a neurosurgeon, medical oncologist, oncologic surgeon, and radiation oncologist. The book provides basic researchers and clinicians with a contemporary review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, and also imparts to experienced investigators outside of the field sufficient background to apply their skills to the treatment of this deadly disease. Expert malignant glioma researchers and clinicians provide state-of-the-art chapters on important topics such as molecular genetic classification of glioblastoma, surgical management, stem cell therapy, chemotherapy, angiogenesis, and more.

being a medical oncologist and treating 3 new high grade gliomas a month i find this book important from the point of view that it ellicits questions and sort of points directions towards trends and pathways.
being uptodate is not just having all the information but knowing where and when to use it

Malignant glioma and especially deadly GBM remains an intractable problem for the neurosurgeons, neurologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists that care for patients with these tumors.
This book has covered all current aspects of GBM by knowledgeable and experienced basic scientists and clinical investigators. Included in this monograph are papers on astrocyte differentiation states and glioma formation (Eric Holand), molecular genetics of GBM (Alice Brown), intraoperative imaging (Gene Barnett), molecular epidemiology (Kenneth Aldape), pediatric high grade gliomas (Alyssa Reddy), surgical management (Fred Lang), FAK signaling (Candace Gladson), imaging of GBMs (Sarah Nelson), chemotherapy (Susan Chang), immunotherapy (John Sampson), viral therapy (Antonio Chiocca), gene therapy (Nikolai Rainov), stem cell therapy (Evan Snyder), angiogenesis (Oliver Bogler), a study of long-term survivors (Peter Forsyth) and a review of radiation therapy and radiosurgery (John Fiveash).
I recommend this well-arranged, concerted, comprehensive book to all my colleagues which may enliven a new horizon of ardour in such a subject of calamitous malignancy.
