Intended as an authoritative and up-to-date account of the gross and microscopic pathology of tumours of both the central and peripheral nervous system, and covering advances in cell biology, this book should aid clinical diagnosis and provide a basis for neuro-oncological research. It should be of interest to neuropathologists, general and surgical pathologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists and neurobiologists. This edition of the standard work is almost double the length of its predecessor, featuring twice as many illustrations and new information on oncogenes, growth factors and their receptors, differentiation tumour markers, and immunological aspects of human gliomas. Extensive contributions on immunohistochemistry are also included, along with new material on the experimental models for embryonal tumours of the CNS, the characteristics of cloned neural tumour cell lines, and the effects of radiation and of chemotherapy on intracranial tumours and on the adjacent brain and spinal cord.
