Samenvatting:

Gliomas are an incurable disease of the central nervous system. In recent years, important milestones have been achieved in understanding the pathogenetic and molecular mechanisms of gliomas, with numerous oncological, molecular and neuroradiological studies. The first important therapeutic step, however, remains surgery. The neurosurgeon is almost always the first specialist who poses the diagnostic suspicion and takes charge of the patient, and a radical and safe surgical intervention greatly influences the patient's prognosis. The different surgical approach strategies, new technologies and trends are summarised in this volume.

Edited by a leading expert in the field and authored by a team of recognised specialists, this book addresses all the most important updates on the understanding of gliomas, analyses them from all perspectives and studies their neurosurgical aspect. It will be a valuable resource for neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, neuro-oncologists and neurologists.
