Oxford Textbook of Neuro-Oncology examines the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and management of adult and childhood central nervous system (CNS) tumours. The book is organized according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of CNS tumours and includes an introductory chapter discussing the new, revised WHO classification that will be used in future editions of this textbook. The book reviews primary CNS tumours, metastatic CNS tumours, and familial tumour syndromes. Each chapter is organized according to a uniform framework, addressing epidemiology, aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, imaging, and treatment, with a focus on different treatment modalities and specific consideration of paediatric aspects, where applicable. Each chapter is authored by a multidisciplinary, international group of senior specialists representing the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region. It is written for generalists and specialists managing these various conditions. It provides an outlook on how current developments in molecular diagnostics, which have in part been integrated into the new WHO classification, may shape clinical decision-making in the future.
