Brain Tumors

These proceedings are a comprehensive compilation of the major issues in the treatment and laboratory investigation of brain tumors. The initial two sections deal with the biopathology and in vitro testing of tumor cells in general and brain tumors in particular. Special attention is paid to the problems involved in the production of viable cell lines in vitro and the attendant problems involved in their use in experimentation. The third section, Topics in Brain Tumor Testing, deals with this broad subject in its three distinct areas with papers on the use of new technology in surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Overall this book is a reflection of the interest in this specialized area of experimental and clinical oncology.
