Published Reviews

"The book will be indispensable for anyone involved in the study of brain tumors, especially for neuropathologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, and radiologists. The editors have gathered well-known experts to author each of the 63 chapters, providing the reader with a comprehensive selection of important issues on all aspects of brain tumors and ensuring that this book will become a classic source of multidisciplinary information….The book is particularly useful as a first source of integrated information for the everyday practice of neuro-oncology." - New England Journal of Medicine, review of the previous edition
