Unparalleled access to the entire central nervous system with over four hundred gross neuropathology images from adult and paediatric post-mortem tissues.
Intraoperative Diagnosis of CNS Tumours provides key practical information and guidance, based on the extensive experience of three leading neuropathologists. The diagnostic approach is emphasised throughout by reference to clinical and neuroradiological features, and the pathology descriptions of smear preparation and cryostat section are heavily illustrated throughout. The book contains detailed practical guidance for diagnosis which is not covered in any existing text, and will be of value to all neuropathologists, surgical pathologists dealing with brain biopsies, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists involved in brain tumour diagnosis and investigation.
Since the time of the earliest electron microscopic studies on tumours of the human nervous system. undertaken over 20 years ago by Luse and her colleagues. there have been considerable advances in our understanding of these neoplasms. Tissue culture and specific antibodies to tumour antigens are two of the techniques which have greatly aided such advances. enabling much to be learned about the biological properties and underly ing nature of all types of nervous system tumour. Electron microscopy. however. has continued to prove of considerable value in the investigation of these tumours. and the technological advances of the last two decades have dramatically improved the resolution and ove...
