This book reviews the significant advances in our understanding of
glioma biology that have been achieved during the past decade and
describes in detail the resultant new approaches to treatment.
Improvements in surgical techniques, radiation therapy, and
chemotherapy are comprehensively covered, with discussion of their
impact in decreasing patient morbidity and increasing survival. In
addition, individual chapters are devoted specifically to current
treatment for low-grade gliomas, anaplastic gliomas, and
glioblastoma multiforme. Other topics addressed include treatment
of the elderly patient, investigating emerging therapies from small
molecules to immunotherapy and palliative care. This timely book
will be a valuable source of up-to-date information for
practitioners and will also be of interest to researchers.
