The consummate guide on the contemporary management of complex
skull base tumors from renowned multidisciplinary experts! An
increased understanding of the biology and molecular
characterization of skull base tumors has led to innovative new
approaches. Endoscopic tumor resection, surgical reconstruction,
and advances in radiation delivery, chemotherapy, and targeted
biologic therapy, have greatly expanded treatment options for
patients with these challenging tumors. The updated second edition
of Comprehensive Management of Skull Base Tumors by master surgeons
Ehab Hanna, Franco DeMonte, and an impressive group of global
experts reflects expanded knowledge of skull base tumors and
evidence-based advances. This generously illustrated second edition
is organized into three sections with 42 chapters. Section I
features expanded coverage of endonasal skull base anatomy and
surgical principles, as well as radiotherapeutic advances such as
proton therapy and stereotactic radiation. Section II is focused on
site-specific procedures with emphasis on surgical approaches, and
Section III focuses on tumor-specific considerations with emphasis
on multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Core topics of this
thorough book include pathology, genetics, diagnostic
considerations, surgical reconstruction, rehabilitation,
chemotherapy, functional outcomes, quality of life issues,
neurocognitive assessment, and cerebrovascular management. Key
