This concise book serves as a practical primer for the care of patients with primary brain tumors.

Divided into two major sections, the first provides chapters with key information for each major brain tumor type. This includes basic information about etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, pathology, imaging, diagnostic workup, and treatment. The second section of the book features chapters that delve into supportive care management with specifics about management for each of the major conditions. This includes tumor-related epilepsy, venous thromboembolism in brain tumor patients, and corticosteroid management and toxicity. Detailed and clinically-focused information about chemotherapy regimens, dosing, monitoring, management of toxicities and patient education are also provided.

Brain Tumors is a quick resource in the inpatient setting or in the clinic and educational resource to help new providers in the neuro-oncology field with the accumulated knowledge of clinicians with practical experience.
