This book presents a comprehensive description of a diagnostic and therapeutic aid for primary central nervous system lymphomas and related diseases. The 22 chapters detail the biology, pathology, and treatment of primary central nervous system lymphomas. Chapters 1-8 provide basic information on the biology of primary central nervous system lymphomas, and Chapters 9-18 are devoted to the basic pathology of primary central nervous system lymphomas and related diseases. The epidemiology, neuroimaging, and treatments of primary central nervous system lymphomas are discussed in Chapters 19-22.
Pathologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists, and other physicians will find this book of great benefit in diagnosing and combating dangerous tumors, primary central nervous system lymphomas, and related diseases.
