Neuro-Oncology for the Clinical Neurologist: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by renowned expert Roy E. Strowd, this groundbreaking book represents a significant milestone in the rapidly evolving field of neuro-oncology. Over the past few years, tremendous progress has been made in tumor classification, treatment modalities, and the role of neurologists and neuro-oncologists.

A First-of-Its-Kind Resource for Neurologists

Neuro-Oncology for the Clinical Neurologist is a pioneering resource that focuses on patient-centered clinical scenarios, providing neurologists with up-to-date information on the latest advances in neuro-oncology. This book covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental principles and neuro-oncology imaging consults to neurologic complications of radiation, systemic, and immune-based therapies, and much more.

Clinical Management of Patients in Neuro-Oncology

This book places a strong emphasis on the clinical management of patients typically encountered by neurologists and neurology trainees. It offers clinically relevant updates in five key areas of neuro-oncology:

• Primary CNS tumors
• Brain and leptomeningeal metastases
• Inherited tumor syndromes of the nervous system (e.g., neurofibromatosis)
• Paraneoplastic and immune-mediated neurological complications of cancer
• Neurological complications of cancer treatments

A Unique Approach to Learning

Each chapter is anchored with patient cases and clinical scenarios, providing an evidence-based discussion and guidance on patient management. The book also includes a summary of clinical pearls and a reference list of clinical cases, making it an invaluable resource for neurologists and neurology trainees.

In addition to the print edition, an enhanced eBook version is also available, allowing readers to access the full text, figures, and references on a variety of devices.
