Synopsis: In the growing field of neuro-oncology, the past few years have witnessed rapid advances in tumor classification, treatment modalities, and the role of neurologists and neuro-oncologists. Neuro-Oncology for the Clinical Neurologist is a first-of-its-kind resource that focuses on patient-clinical scenarios relevant to the practicing neurologist—bringing you up to date with everything from basic principles and neuro-oncology imaging consults to neurologic complications of radiation, systemic, and immune-based therapies, and much more. - Focuses on the clinical management of patients typically encountered by neurologists and neurology trainees. - Provides clinically relevant updates in five key areas of neuro-oncology: primary CNS tumors, brain and leptomeningeal metastases, inherited tumor syndromes of the nervous system (e.g. neurofibromatosis), paraneoplastic and immune-mediated neurological complications of cancer, and neurological complications of cancer treatments. - Includes a summary of clinical pearls and a reference list of clinical cases. - Anchors each chapter with patient cases and clinical scenarios, provides evidence-based discussion, and explains patient management. - Enhanced eBook version included with purchase.
