The seventh annual multidisciplinary symposium on clinical oncology
organised by the Royal College of Radiologists discussed the
subject of malignant brain tumours. It was held in London in
February 1985 and this volume collects together the edited texts of
the papers which were presented at the meeting. Primary tumours of
the central nervous system account for about 9070 of all malignant
diseases but as much as 20% of all paediatric neoplasms. The
prognosis ranges from excellent for some of the less aggressive
tumours, through good for children's tumours such as
medulloblastoma, to appalling for the high-grade adult
astrocytomas. Improvements in pathological diagnosis and surgical
and radiothera peutic techniques have led to considerable
sequential improvements in outcome over those obtained in the past.
In contrast the response to chemotherapy over the whole range of
tumours remains disappoint ing, and clearly awaits new drugs and
methods of delivery. The relative rarity of individual types of
tumours, apart from the commoner high-grade adult astrocytomas, has
made progress in terms of clinical trials difficult to organise. In
spite of this much investigative work is in progress. The
symposium, and the present volume, were designed to provide a
comprehensive overview of the subject by experts, with an emphasis
on the possible routes to future progress. The topics included
aspects of pathology, imaging, diagno sis and treatment of both the
common and uncommon primary tumours. It is hoped the papers will
stimulate further interest and activity in this difficult area of
clinical therapy and investigation."
