Synopsis Translational Neuro-Oncology by : Santosh Kesari
More than 18,000 Americans develop a brain or neurologic tumor annually and the number of patients with metastatic brain tumors continues to grow. The need for better treatments and management strategies for brain cancer is acute. In order to cure patients, there is a clear urgency to gain a better molecular and biological understanding of the disease. Translational Neuro-Oncology provides a comprehensive overview of the research being conducted to translate science from the laboratory to create improved therapies for patients living with malignant gliomas and other brain tumors. This book discusses how integrating clinical, pre-clinical and basic science will improve the understanding of brain tumor biology and ultimately bring innovative, personalized treatments to individual patients. Chapters are organized by disease and cover recent translational research in different therapies such as chemotherapy, stem cells, immunotherapies and surgical techniques. First comprehensive book to cover translational research being conducted in neuro-oncology Discusses how to integrate basic and clinical sciences to bring innovative, personalized treatment directly to patients. Chapters organized by disease and written by both scientist and physician co-authors to promote translational synergy.

Synopsis Emerging Concepts in Neuro-Oncology by : Colin Watts
Having been a fairly dormant specialty for many decades, in recent years there has been a remarkable increase in activity in Neuro-oncology from basic science through to the clinics. Reflecting this there have been considerable advancements in the understanding of the biology of CNS malignancies which have infirmed the development of many novel and successful therapies. This work aims to bring together the scattered literature on the new concepts in neuro-oncology for the benefit of those in the field. The book moves from concepts in the scientific basis of neuro-oncology, through to modelling techniques and finishing on the translation into clinical practice.

Synopsis Handbook of Neuro-Oncology Neuroimaging by : Herbert B. Newton
Remarkable progress in neuro-oncology due to increased utilization of advanced imaging in clinical practice continues to accelerate in recent years. Refinements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) technology, and the addition of newer anatomical, functional, and metabolic imaging methods, such as MRS, fMRI, diffusion MRI, and DTI MRI have allowed brain tumor patients to be diagnosed much earlier and to be followed more carefully during treatment. With treatment approaches and the field of neuro-oncology neuroimaging changing rapidly, this second edition of the Handbook of Neuro-Oncology Neuroimaging is so relevant to those in the field, providing a single-source, comprehensive, reference handbook of the most up-to-date clinical and technical information regarding the application of neuro-Imaging techniques to brain tumor and neuro-oncology patients. This new volume will have updates on all of the material from the first edition, and in addition will feature several new important chapters covering diverse topics such as advanced imaging techniques in radiation therapy, therapeutic treatment fields, response assessment in clinical trials, surgical planning of neoplastic disease of the spine, and more. It will also serve as a resource of background information to neuroimaging researchers and basic scientists with an interest in brain tumors and neuro-oncology. - Provides a background to translational research and the use of brain imaging for brain tumors - Contains critical discussions on the potential and limitations of neuroimaging as a translational tool for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor and neuro-oncology patients - Presents an up-to-date reference on advanced imaging technologies, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET), as well as the recent refinements in these techniques

Synopsis Translational Immunotherapy of Brain Tumors by : John H. Sampson
Translational Immunotherapy of Brain Tumors gives researchers and practitioners an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the field. Chapters include adoptive immunotherapy, immunosuppression, CAR therapy of brain tumors, and dendritic cell therapy for brain tumors. Very few agents have been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of malignant gliomas. Recently, there have been a number of studies demonstrating the potential success of immunotherapy for brain tumors. Immunotherapeutics are becoming the most frequent drugs to be used in cancer therapy. These new breakthroughs, now approved by the FDA, are a part of multiple phase III international trials and ongoing research in malignant glioma, meaning that the information in this cutting-edge book will be of great importance to practitioners and researchers alike. Comprehensive overview, providing an update on immunology, translational immunotherapy, and clinical trials relating to malignant gliomas Edited by a prominent neurosurgeon with contributions by leading researchers in the field Ideal resource for researchers and practitioners interested in learning about mechanisms that use the immune system to treat brain tumors
