Reviews

This is a very detailed monograph on the roles of radiation, immunotherapy, genetic, epigenetic, and chemotherapy in the treatment of Glioblastoma. Biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of GBMs are discussed. ... I highly recommend this book to oncologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and researchers involved in this perplexing baffling tumor. (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.com, May, 2018)
