'The content is extremely wide-ranging, running the gamut from epidemiology through the principles of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and particularly strongly into neuroimaging. ... a comprehensive and evidence-based reference text which really can be enjoyed by any member of the team caring for children with CNS tumours. Nuggeted within are some very illuminating chapters, which deserve a very wide audience indeed.' Dr Richard J. Brown '... I am happy to add this book to my library. I truly think the author was successful in summing up all the facts in a small book; I found this book appealing and easy to read. I have no hesitation recommending this book ... [it] is a good buy.'
