Oxford Textbook of Neuro-Oncology Second Edition

Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Neuro-Oncology is a comprehensive account of the diagnosis, management, and treatment of tumours of the nervous system in children and adults. The second edition covers the most up to date surgical, medical, and radiation therapies of nervous system tumours as well as tumour-related and treatment-related complications.

Chapters are organized according to the widely accepted and referenced World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Nervous System Tumours, and have been fully updated and expanded based on the most recent 2021 classification.

Written by a global team of authors who are leading, multidisciplinary experts in each of the tumour types covered, this textbook will be a valuable resource for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and trainees in these disciplines.

• Provides a comprehensive review of the diagnosis, management, and treatment of all adult and paediatric nervous system tumours, as classified by histopathology and molecular markers
• Organized by the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Nervous System Tumours, with corresponding numbering for easy reference
• Written by an international team of authors who are leading, multidisciplinary experts in each of the adult and paediatric tumour types covered

New to this Edition:

• Fully updated to include the newer, expanded 2021 WHO CNS tumour classification system
