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.

The Neurology in Practice series provides clinical 'in
the office' or 'at the bedside' guides to effective patient care
for neurologists. The tone is practical, not academic, with authors
offering guidance on what might be done and what should be avoided.
The books are informed by evidence-based practice and feature:
* Algorithms and guidelines where they are appropriate
* 'Tips and Tricks' boxes - hints on improving
outcomes
* 'Caution' warning boxes - hints on avoiding
complications
* 'Science Revisited' - quick reminder of the basic science
principles
* Summaries of key evidence and suggestions for further
reading
