Posterior Fossa Tumors in Children
This book, written by experts from across the world, provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview covering all aspects of posterior fossa neoplasms in pediatric patients, including medulloblastoma, ependymoma, cerebellar astrocytoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, chordoma, brain stem tumors, and rarer entities. For each tumor type, individual chapters are devoted to genetics, radiological evaluation using advanced imaging techniques, surgery, pathology, oncology, and radiation treatment. In addition, a separate section describes the various surgical approaches that may be adopted and offers guidance on the treatment of hydrocephalus and the role of intraoperative mapping and monitoring. Useful information is also provided on anatomy, clinical presentation, neurological evaluation, and molecular biology. The book closes by discussing in detail immediate postoperative care, the management of surgical complications, and longer-term rehabilitation and support. Posterior fossa tumors are the most common pediatric brain tumors but are often difficult to treat owing to their proximity to critical brain structures and their tendency to cause marked intracranial hypertension. Practitioners of all levels of experience will find Posterior Fossa Tumors in Children to be a richly illustrated, state of the art guide to the management of these tumors that will serve as an ideal reference in clinical practice.
Brain Tumors: An Interdisciplinary Approach
The “Brain Tumors: An Interdisciplinary Approach” is the thirteenth volume of the “Interdisciplinary Cancer Research” series, publishes comprehensive volume on diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. It starts with a general title on an interdisciplinary approach in brain tumors. Inherited genetics syndromes associated with central nervous system tumors as well as the impact of epigenetic methylation on gliomagenesis were explained. Then new approaches on precision medicine in brain tumors are discussed. After discussion on neurosurgical management of brain tumors, neuroimaging and radiosurgery of brain tumors are explained. Novel approaches to bypassing the blood-brain barrier for drug delivery to brain tumors are also discussed. After presentation of pediatric low-grade gliomas, treatment of glioblastoma is the subject of other chapters. The potential role of artificial intelligence in the treatment of glioblastoma is discussed in the last chapter. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for neurosurgeons and oncologists who wish to extend their knowledge on brain tumors.
Posterior Fossa Tumors
It is estimated that the functionally significant body of knowledge for a given medical specialty changes radically every 8 years. New specialties and "sub-specialization" are occurring at approximately an equal rate. Historically, established journals have not been able either to absorb this increase in publishable material or to extend their readership to the new specialists. International and national meetings, symposia and seminars, workshops, and newsletters suc cessfully bring to the attention of physicians within developing spe cialties what is occurring, but generally only in demonstration form without providing historical perspective, pathoanatomical corre lates, or extensive discussion. Page and time limitations oblige the authors to present only the essence of their material. Pediatric neurosurgery is an example of a specialty that has de veloped during the past 15 years. Over this period neurosurgeons have obtained special training in pediatric neurosurgery and then dedicated themselves primarily to its practice. Centers, Chairs, and educational programs have been established as groups of neuro in different countries throughout the world organized surgeons themselves respectively into national and international societies for pediatric neurosurgery. These events were both preceded and fol lowed by specialized courses, national and international journals, and ever-increasing clinical and investigative studies into all aspects of surgically treatable diseases of the child's nervous system.
