HANDBOOK OF CLINICAL NEUROLOGY VOLUME 134 G...

Researchers' knowledge of gliomas continues to advance rapidly at both the basic and
translational levels  and Gliomas provides a thorough overview of the evolving fields of tumor
biology and clinical medicine as they relate to our understanding of brain tumors. Gliomas
reviews the current paradigms that underlie these fields  beginning with the molecular
epidemiology of glioma susceptibility and prognosis through population-based science and
genome-wide association studies. The book's discussion of imaging modalities extends beyond
advances in anatomical imaging to include metabolic and physiological studies. This work
provides thorough discussion of the clinical view of tumors  ranging from the presentation of
the patient to surgical management  and covers all therapeutic options for patient care 
including chemotherapy  targeted molecular therapies  immunotherapies  and even personalized
approaches to impact the set of lesions. Additionally  the book discusses radiotherapy with
regard to the many options available to treat patients using myriad fractionated techniques
with various sources. Finally  Gliomas reviews issues specific to the quality of life for
patients  and techniques for maximizing the effect of caregivers. Edited and authored by
