4.0 out of 5 stars
better than giving the answer is to orderly cast the question,
By
This review is from: Glioblastoma Multiforme (Hardcover)
being a medical oncologist and treating 3 new high grade gliomas a month i find this book important from the point of view that it ellicits questions and sort of points directions towards trends and pathways.
being uptodate is not just having all the information but knowing where and when to use it
5.0 out of 5 stars
GBM an hard work,
This review is from: Glioblastoma Multiforme (Hardcover)
Malignant glioma and especially deadly GBM remains an intractable problem for the neurosurgeons, neurologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists that care for patients with these tumors.
This book has covered all current aspects of GBM by knowledgeable and experienced basic scientists and clinical investigators. Included in this monograph are papers on astrocyte differentiation states and glioma formation (Eric Holand), molecular genetics of GBM (Alice Brown), intraoperative imaging (Gene Barnett), molecular epidemiology (Kenneth Aldape), pediatric high grade gliomas (Alyssa Reddy), surgical management (Fred Lang), FAK signaling (Candace Gladson), imaging of GBMs (Sarah Nelson), chemotherapy (Susan Chang), immunotherapy (John Sampson), viral therapy (Antonio Chiocca), gene therapy (Nikolai Rainov), stem cell therapy (Evan Snyder), angiogenesis (Oliver Bogler), a study of long-term survivors (Peter Forsyth) and a review of radiation therapy and radiosurgery (John Fiveash). I recommend this well-arranged, concerted, comprehensive book to all my colleagues which may enliven a new horizon of ardour in such a subject of calamitous malignancy.
