Cancer imposes daunting effects on the nervous system Brain cancer
is one of the most devastating diagnoses a physician can deliver.
Cancer of the nervous system can take many different forms.
Treatment is specific to the type of malignancy, its location in
the nervous system and, increasingly, its molecular
characteristics. The challenges manifest further when management
choices need to be made, and multidisciplinary approaches are
required. Additional complexities arise in children, where the
developing neurological system requires more sensitive treatment.
Neuro-oncology unmasks the complexities to provide a
straightforward guide to cancers of the nervous system. Following a
general approach to diagnosis and treatment, the clinical aspects
of specific cancer types in adults and children are explained in
practical terms. A final section considers the effect of system
cancer on the nervous system and the side effects of treatment.
Clinical in approach, practical in execution, Neuro-oncology will
help you diagnose and manage your patients more effectively.
