"The editors...have done an outstanding job of presenting...complex information in a lucid manner - this book is a must-read for the global community of aspiring students and neuro-oncology practitioners." Amar Gajjar, MD in the Foreword

This is a succinct introduction to pediatric neuro-oncology. It summarizes the key advances in molecular biology that have helped transform this rapidly evolving field and provides up-to-date coverage of major and emerging treatment modalities as well as supportive care. Separate chapters present each kind of pediatric brain cancer and its diagnosis and treatment. As more children survive brain cancer, the importance of quality of life issues and helping survivors to cope with the neuropsychological impact and long-term effects of current therapies has come into sharper focus; these topics are also addressed in the book, as are palliative care and pediatric neuro-oncology in countries with limited resources. The book is aimed attrainees and practitioners who seek an up-to-date text in pediatric neuro-oncology that is both comprehensive and concise.

Rezensionen
"In pediatric neuro-oncology there is so much information, but there are few books that have everything. This book covers it all, and as a result it is the single go-to book for any issue related to pediatric brain tumors. It should be on the shelf of any clinical professional caring for children with brain tumors. ... Easy to read and concise, but with enough detail to answer most questions, along with great references if more information is needed." (Clarke Paul Anderson, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2015)
