From the reviews: "This book summarizes the current knowledge of the late effects of brain malignancies. ... The intended audience includes physicians, nurses, psychologists, and other health professionals who care for CNS tumor survivors. ... it is easy to follow and understand. The authors are all leaders in the field. ... this book should be on the shelves of both medical and consumer libraries." (Joseph I. Sirven, Doody's Review Service, November, 2009)
