Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) encompassing the brain and spinal cord are difficult to treat and often spell poor prognosis for the affected patient. Among the most aggressive CNS tumors are malignant gliomas and CNS-localized metastatic seeds derived from peripheral cancers of the lung, skin, breast, gastrointestinal tract or kidney. Even initially benign brain lesions, such as meningiomas and pituitary adenomas, harbor the potential to progress to an aggressive, life-threatening phenotype. Despite continuous improvements in detection and diagnosis, surgery, radiation treatment, chemotherapies and targeted therapies, and the advent of immune system-targeted interventions, CNS malignancies remain deadly, and too many patients still succumb to these diseases.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine on “New Advances in Neuro-Oncology” aims to collect insightful contributions from experts in the field. We invite investigators from around the world to submit original basic science research articles, translational developments, results from clinical studies, and critical review articles that provide up-to-date information and introduce new advances of the entire compendium of neuro-oncology, from experiments at the bench to clinical applications at the bedside.
