  • Title: Brain tumors: current issues in diagnosis and management.
    Author: Lyons MK, Vora SA.
    Journal: Semin Neurol; 2007 Sep; 27(4):312-24. PubMed ID: 17701868.
    Abstract:
    There has been significant progress made in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors over the past 15 years. This has largely been due to significant advances in radiographic imaging capabilities that have allowed for much earlier detection of disease, both new and recurrent. Advances in surgical and radiotherapy techniques and technology have also affected the care of these patients. More recent advances in chemotherapy options and double and triple crossover clinical trials are beginning to have an impact in the treatment of malignant brain tumors. This article will address the 4 most common brain tumors practicing physicians see and will review the current concepts in treating these tumors.
