From the reviews of the second edition: "This is an update of a 2004 compendium of childhood central nervous systems tumors with standard, current information on the diagnosis and treatment of these malignancies. ... The book is sufficiently detailed to be valuable to experts in the field, but it also will appeal to anyone caring for children afflicted with these tumors as a general reference. ... It is quite well done, complete, and easy to read. It is a valuable addition to the current books on childhood neurosurgery care." (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Review Service, March, 2010)
