Central Nervous System Tumours of Childhood cover

Clinics in Developmental Medicine No.166

Ranging from epidemiology and neuroimaging through the general principles of surgery and radiotherapy/chemotherapy to issues of palliative care and quality of life, this concise, broad-ranging and practical text covers all clinical aspects of central nervous system tumours in children. It provides an overview of current important issues in diagnosis and management, and focuses on important areas of research, with an emphasis on the areas likely to impact on clinical practice. It will be essential reading for paediatric oncologists, medical and clinical oncologists, neurosurgeons, and paediatricians involved in the care of children with brain tumours, trainees in these and related specialties, specialist nurses and paramedical staff.

'The content is extremely wide-ranging, running the gamut from epidemiology through the principles of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and particularly strongly into neuroimaging. ... a comprehensive and evidence-based reference text which really can be enjoyed by any member of the team caring for children with CNS tumours. Nuggeted within are some very illuminating chapters, which deserve a very wide audience indeed.' Dr Richard J. Brown
'... I am happy to add this book to my library. I truly think the author was successful in summing up all the facts in a small book; I found this book appealing and easy to read. I have no hesitation recommending this book ... [it] is a good buy.' Saudi Medical Journal
