Main description:

This book provides the recent progress of gliomas management, and accompany with clinical cases. The application of new integrated diagnosis of glioma (WHO CNS5) is illustrated with clinical cases. Some new adjuvant therapies are discussed, including chemotherapy/targeted therapy, immunotherapy and physiotherapy for glioma. It also covers the recent application of genomics and epigenomics in the diagnosis of gliomas. This book summarizes the clinical management with new treatment modalities, which can prolong the overall survival of glioma patients.
