Description
Treatment of patients with a brain tumor remains one of the most challenging and difficult areas of modern oncology. Recent advances in
the molecular biology of these neoplasms have improved our understanding of the malignant phenotype and have lead to the development
of novel forms of chemotherapy, including “targeted” agents. The
Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy reviews the state-of-the-art
of chemotherapy development and clinical treatment of patients with this devastating disease.
Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy
offers a unique cutting-edge compendium of basic science and clinical information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy, reviewing
what has been accomplished thus far and how the field will continue to evolve with the development of more specific and efficacious chemotherapeutic
agents. This book represents the most complete single-volume resource available for information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy.
Audience:
Neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, oncologists, neurologists, and oncological researchers with an interest in the development and application of chemotherapy to brain tumor patients.
