دانلود کتاب Molecular Neuro-oncology and Its Impact on the Clinical Management of Brain Tumors

Tumors of the nervous system represent a difficult therapeutic challenge. During recent years, substantial progress has been made in characterizing genetic mechnisms involved in the formation of brain tumors. There is a lot of hope that an understanding of the molecular basis of transformation will eventually lead to specific therapeutic approaches. In this volume,leading authorities in both molecular and clinical neuro-oncology summarize recent developments in their respective fields. The first part of the book will focus on specific molecular genetic defects in neural tumors and their potential clinical significance. Part two gives an update on established and novel treatment regimens for patients with brain tumors. Several contributions will demonstrate that molecular and clinical neuro-oncology are already entangled. With its unique combination of molecular biological and clinical data, this volume provides basic researchers and clinical neuroscientists with a comprehensive update in both disciplines.
