Genomic and Molecular Neuro-Oncology

In recent years, cutting-edge genomic and molecular techniques have profoundly influenced the direction of brain tumor research and modern clinical practice. Genomic and Molecular Neuro-Oncology, edited by Wei Zhang and Gregory N. Fuller, is an up-to-date reference that documents these important advances and describes their medical and therapeutic implications. Written for a broad range of researchers and clinicians including oncologists, neurologists, pathologists, neuroscientists, residents, postdoctoral fellows, and others in related fields, this volume contains 18 contributions organized in five sections: Genomic and Genetic Alterations in Gliomas, Molecular Alterations in Gliomas, Genomics and Informatics, Animal Models, and Molecular Therapeutics. Each chapter provides a review of a specific subfield of contemporary molecular neuro-oncology, including recently implemented diagnostic and research applications.
