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.
