New Techniques for Management of 'Inoperable' Gliomas

New Techniques for Management of 'Inoperable' Gliomas radically challenges the assumption that certain gliomas cannot be removed with modern techniques, contesting stereotypical thinking and establishing new paradigms in the field. Gliomas are primary brain tumors which are often fatal. Recent data has demonstrated that despite the fact that surgery cannot cure gliomas, patient survival is substantially improved by removing as much of the tumor as possible. This fact has raised the imperative that neurologists try to improve techniques to bring surgical resection to as many patients as possible. This book brings new insights and technologies to the forefront, giving hope to patients.

Provides the first comprehensive book to discuss techniques for removing gliomas that are traditionally deemed 'inoperable'Presents a great reference tool that challenges stereotypical thinking by offering techniques by innovative surgeonsIncludes chapters that are organized by different glioma types and surgery/techniques
