“Spinal Cord Tumors provides a helpful reference for all physicians, trainees, and allied health professionals involved in the care of patients with intradural spinal tumors. … Spinal Cord Tumors is an important contribution to the spinal oncology literature. It is a most valuable reference for clinicians caring for patients harboring these complex pathologies. I highly recommend this book as a comprehensive, contemporary overview of intradural tumors and their management.” (Laurence D. Rhines, Neurosurgery, Vol. 86 (6), June, 2020)
