Highlights
The multidisciplinary specialty of neuro-oncology encompasses the fields of neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, neuropathology, and neuroradiology
The neuroradiologist has an increasingly important role as the technology advances to allow for evaluation of tumor type and grade, anatomic extent of the tumor, treatment response, and differentiation of recurrent tumor from infection or treatment-related injury
Metabolic imaging with positron-emission tomography, single-photon emission tomography, and MR-spectroscopy continues to play an important role in differentiating recurrent tumor from treatment related changes
Summary
The multidisciplinary specialty of neuro-oncology encompasses the fields of neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, neuropathology, and neuroradiology. Cancer Neurology in Clinical Practice is the second edition of a multi-authored book by Dr David Schiff, Dr Santosh Kesari, and Dr Patrick Wen. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of the management of the neurologic complications of cancer. Whereas many of the available books in neuro-oncology emphasize primary tumors of the nervous system, this recent publication is an invaluable reference for any member of the neuro-oncology team involved in the care of a patient with cancer and neurologic symptoms.
