| Summary: | Section I. Overview -- Overview of metastatic disease of the central nervous system -- Section II. Brain metastases -- Brain metastases: epidemiology -- Pathogenesis and biology -- Role of the blood-brain barrier in metastatic disease of the central nervous system -- Metastatic diseases of the central nervous system - neuropathological aspects -- Brain metastasis: clinical manifestations, symptom management and palliative care -- Brain metastases: neuroimaging -- The role of surgery for brain metastases from solid tumors -- Brain metastases: fractionated whole brain radiotherapy -- Brain metastases: radiosurgery -- Systemic therapy for brain metastases -- Neurocognitive aspects of brain metastasis -- Section III. Other nervous system metastases -- Leptomeningeal metastasis -- Intracranial dural, calvarial and skull base metastases -- Epidural and intramedullary spinal metastasis: clinical features and role of fractionated radiotherapy -- Management - spinal metastases -- Plexus and peripheral nerve metastasis "Metastatic Disease of the Nervous System, Volume 149, begins with an overview of the impact and range of direct neoplastic involvement of the central and peripheral nervous system, comprehensively reviewing all aspects of brain metastases, from clinical, radiological and neuropathological manifestations, to the roles of surgery, radiation, systemic and palliative therapy in their management, and the complications of these interventions. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal, dural, spinal epidural and plexus metastases are also covered in detail."--Publisher's description |
