Despite recent advances in treatment, malignant glioma remains an insuperable problem for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and oncologists. The contributors work on significant issues related to glioblastoma multiforme, its basic science, clinical aspects, and potential new treatment approaches. Article topics include astrocyte differentiation states a
This book provides basic researchers and clinicians with a contemporary review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most common and most deadly type of brain tumor. Expert malignant glioma researchers and clinicians provide state-of-the-art chapters on important topics such as molecular genetic classification of glioblastoma, surgical management, stem cell therapy, chemotherapy, angiogenesis, and more.
