Contents:
The Origin of Gliomas in Relation to the Histological Diagnosis -- Molecular Genetics Outline of Brain Tumors -- General Remarks -- Astrocytic Tumors I -- Astrocytic Tumors II -- Oligodendroglial Tumors -- Ependymal Tumors -- Neuronal and Mixed Glio-Neural Tumors I -- Neuronal and Mixed Glio-Neural Tumors II -- Peculiar Tumors -- Cell Migration and Invasion -- Apoptosis -- The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System -- Angiogenesis -- Meningiomas.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book is not a treatise on brain tumor pathology and nosography. It has been conceived as a help to pathologists, neuropathologists and neuro-oncologists in confronting everyday problems arising in the diagnostics of brain tumors. The initial chapters cover the distinction between infiltrating tumors and normal nervous tissue, between diffuse astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma and the identification of the malignant variant of some tumor types. Moreover, in the pathology of brain tumors, some biological processes are active which show a development over the course of time, such that in surgical samples they cannot be recognized as a whole, but only from the occurrence of limited and partial aspects. Invasion modalities, angiogenesis and apoptosis fall in this category and are discussed not in an exhaustive manner, but as stages or phases of the processes identified in the tissue. The figures do not seek to illustrate the characteristic aspects of the tumors, but only the points under discussion.This book is the result of many years of personal experience in the diagnosis of brain tumors as well as of discussions with neurosurgeons and neuro-oncologists and it aspires to contribute to solving emerging everyday problems.
