"Treatment of patients with a brain tumor remains one of the most challenging and difficult areas of modern oncology. Recent advances in the molecular biology of these neoplasms have improved our understanding of the malignant phenotype and have lead to the development of novel forms of chemotherapy, including targeted agents. The Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy reviews the state-of-the-art of chemotherapy development and clinical treatment of patients with this devastating disease. Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy offers a unique cutting-edge compendium of basic science and clinical information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy, reviewing what has been accomplished thus far and how the field will continue to evolve with the development of more specific and efficacious chemotherapeutic agents. This book represents the most complete single-volume resource available for information on the subject of brain tumor chemotherapy. * Provides the most up to date information regarding conventional forms of cytotoxic chemotherapy, as well as the basic science and clinical application of molecular therapeutics, for the treatment of brain tumors * Broadly appeals to anyone interested in the field of Neuro-Oncology and in the treatment of patients with brain tumors * Useful to clinicians interested in a thorough overview of the use of chemotherapy in patients with a broad range of brain tumors as well as serving as a source of background information to basic scientists and pharmaceutical researchers with an interest in the molecular therapeutics of brain tumors."@en

"The book provides a broad overview of the current "state-of-the-art" in the use of chemotherapy for primary and metastatic brain tumors and includes information on traditional (for example, alkylating agents, spindle poisons, topoisomerase inhibitors, etc) and non-traditional (for example, intra-arterial approaches, blood-brain barrier disruption, etc) forms of chemotherapy. In addition, newer molecular-based chemotherapeutic agents (for example, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ras pathway inhibitors, PI3 kinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors, etc) are included. Well-founded in basic science and pharmacology, the chapters provide an overview of relevant background material in critical areas such as drug pharmacology and mechanisms of action, molecular biology (for example, critical oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes), signal transduction pathways, angiogenesis pathways, and developmental pharmacology."
