"Evolution of the Molecular Biology of Brain Tumors and the Therapeutic Implications" ed. by Terry Lichtor

In this book a review of the latest information on these topics along with a variety of new therapeutic treatment strategies with an emphasis on molecular targeted therapies is provided. This new information will lead to efficacious treatment strategies for these tumors which remain a challenge.
