Stereotactic Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Meningiomas
Meningiomas are the most frequently reported neuro-oncologic condition, accounting for 12% to 30% of all primary intracranial tumors. The first case of intracranial meningioma treated with stereotactic radiosurgery was reported by Backlund E-O in 1971. Since then, more than 200,000 meningiomas have been treated with stereotactic radiosurgery worldwide to date. The large number of patients treated using this method is due to the fact that meningiomas are frequently located in critical areas and microsurgery is often associated with severe and permanent neurological complications. This book discusses the advantages, risks and limits of stereotactic radiosurgery relating to all regions of inter...
Diagnosis and Management of Craniopharyngiomas
This book provides up-to-date coverage of the most relevant topics in the diagnosis and management of craniopharyngiomas. After introductory discussion of natural history and clinical presentation, individual chapters are devoted to pathological and molecular aspects, use of diagnostic imaging techniques, the surgical approach to craniopharyngiomas, radiotherapy and radiosurgery, and associated endocrine disturbances. A particular feature of the book is the detailed attention devoted to the metabolic consequences of the disease and related treatments, including obesity and electrolyte disturbances, and to cognitive alterations. This book will be of value to oncologists, neurosurgeons, and endocrinologists by assisting in diagnostic workup, delivery of appropriate treatment, and management of the serious metabolic and endocrine consequences.
Pituitary Adenomas
Disciplines as diverse as neurosurgery and neuroendocrinology, radiology and pharmacology are directly interested in new trends in basic and clinical research in the area of pituitary tumors. A multidisciplinary forum thus provided the backdrop to the Fifth European Workshop on Pituitary Adenomas from which the manuscripts of invited lectures are collected in this volume. Dr Seymour Reichlin's main lecture presents the current view and most recent advances concerning the much debated pathogenesis of pituitary tumors. Other distinguished scientists cover topics concerning hypothalamic-pituitary regulatory mechanisms, biology, morphology, hormonal investigations, imaging and management of pituitary adenomas. Two Round Tables were devoted to the management of prolactinomas with new dopaminergic agents and recurrences of pituitary tumors after surgery, and finally, a symposium was dedicated to the emerging problem of clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas.
Library of Congress Catalog
Beginning with 1953, entries for Motion pictures and filmstrips, Music and phonorecords form separate parts of the Library of Congress catalogue. Entries for Maps and atlases were issued separately 1953-1955.
Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery
In this third edition of Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Drs. Sheehan and Lunsford provide an updated assessment of the practice of stereotactic radiosurgery. Topics include benign and malignant tumors, cerebrovascular abnormalities, and functional disorders. Several new topics are now included and focus on immunotherapy, hypofractionation, and repeat radiosurgery. Each chapter contains key figures and tables to illustrate the critical concepts of the work. Contributors to the book represent many of the most prestigious stereotactic radiosurgery centers across the world. This book is comprised of 36 chapters and represents a comprehensive update to prior editions. It is intended to b...
