The American Cancer Society anticipates that 16,500 patients will be diagnosed with primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system in 2000, with about 200,000 individuals presenting with brain metastases. The advances in the treatment of solid tumors have contributed significantly to the major increase in metastatic cancers to the brain. Of the primary malignant tumors of the brain, more than 50% are high-grade gliomas; the incidence has been increasing among older patients over the past decade. Major developments in new technologies in the treatment of primary brain tumors as well...

Benign Cerebral Glioma, Volume I is a valuable text which looks at the rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary body of knowledge about the development, molecular biology, molecular genetic and pathology of human cerebral gliomas. This generously illustrated text is written and edited by recognized experts in the field.

Volume I includes topics such as:

• The developmental biology of glial cells and its
  relation to the study of glioma biology
  
• The pathology of benign cerebral astrocytomas,...

Benign Cerebral Glioma, Volume II synthesizes the considerable amount of information on the
classic and evolving tools in the clinical treatment of these neoplasms. The
text also presents practical guidelines for contemporary clinical management
with the framework of currently available knowledge.

Volume II
discusses the clinical aspects of benign gliomas, including:

• Congential syndromes associated with benign gliomas

• Imaging features

• The role of stereotaxis in the management of...
