Review
"...this multiauthored book is sufficiently complete to support the notion that malignant brain tumors in situ are amenable to therapies designed to isolate, amplify, and focus aspects of the immune response with respect to these tumors...Part II, Introduction to Immunotherapy of Brain Tumors, contains two very good chapters that provide the rational bases for numerous immunotherapeutic approaches covered in the remaining 12 chapters. ...Part III, Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy, covers the more important issue of cell-mediated immunotherapy from both active immunization and adoptive transfer of ex vivo-expanded effector lymphocytes....Part IV Antiboby-Mediated Immunotherapy, contains four concise reviews of some of the more interesting anti-body-based approaches in treating brain tumors....This text should be a very useful reference for investigators who are interested in any therapeutic modality that involves (or affects) the immune system of patients with intrinsic brain tumors."- Neuro-Oncology "Brain Tumor Immunotherapy is a unique text in its compilation of current knowledge and experimental events from an authoritative panel of researchers and clinicians who describe the ongoing trends in immunotherapy research as promising therapeutic tools for the treatment of brain tumors....The basic concepts necessary to understanding immunotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of brain tumors are superbly presented in Part II....A concise but excellent overview of the immune system as applied to the central nervous system, this chapter presents the issues that later chapters deal with, namely heterogeneity of tumors, "restricted" immunological privilege, antigen-presenting mechanisms, and cellular immunogenic responses of the central nervous system, as well as the potential risk of allergic encephalomyelitis induction." - Journal of Neurosurgery
