Advanced Imaging and Therapy in Neuro-Oncology
Egesta Lopci, Luigi Mansi本书涵盖了神经肿瘤疾病的所有诊断和治疗方面。在过去十年中,随着 WHO 新分类的实施,脑肿瘤的管理发生了翻天覆地的变化,并且由于分子标志物被引入临床常规。从影像学的角度来看,技术的不断发展和各种放射性药物的实施为新的临床适应症铺平了道路,并有助于优化患者管理。在这种情况下,在诊断和治疗途径中引入放射组学和人工智能可能会取得重大突破。不要忘记重粒子线疗法作为肿瘤内科和放射治疗中采用的创新药物和治疗方法的补充,正在发挥新兴的作用。

In the present book, all above-mentioned aspects are covered, starting with the novel standards for the WHO classification of brain tumors, to the up-to-date surgical techniques and advanced therapeutic approaches, passing through the currently available imaging modalities and ongoing developments embracing both radiology and nuclear medicine discipline. Imaging represents indeed the “trait d'union” for all the arguments described in the book; therefore, in most chapters there are dedicated sessions focused on the role of imaging in each specific context.
The publication aims to fill the gap between the clinicians and all professionals directly involved in the management of patients with brain tumors and the newest scientific outreach. Moreover, th
