Reviews

This is a complete monograph on the molecular and cell biology of 'brain tumors' resistant mechanisms. The book discusses chemotherapy and radiotherapy of brain malignancies including gliomas, ependynomas, and meningiomas. ... I highly recommend this book as a reference and research tool for neurosurgeons, oncologists, neurologists, residents, and students. (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.de, May, 2018)
