Description
Oxford Textbook of Neuro-Oncology — 2nd Edition
The second edition explores the diagnosis and management of primary and secondary tumors involving the nervous system. It brings together clinical neurology, neuropathology, imaging, surgery, radiation therapy and systemic oncology to support multidisciplinary study.
Key Subjects
- Classification and biological features of central nervous system tumors.
- Neurological symptoms, examination and the diagnostic workup.
- Magnetic resonance imaging and other neuroimaging methods.
- Clinical and molecular pathology relevant to neuro-oncology.
- Management of adult and pediatric tumors of the nervous system.

- Supportive care, rehabilitation and quality-of-life considerations.
Study Perspective
The text emphasizes how clinical disciplines collaborate in the evaluation of complex tumors. It is useful for deeper postgraduate learning, clinical reading and understanding the evidence behind different treatment strategies. As molecular classifications and therapeutic options evolve, decisions should also refer to current professional resources.
Intended Audience
Neuro-oncologists, neurologists, oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuropathologists and medical trainees.
