Neuroimaging plays a central role in the initial diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of multimodal therapies offered to patients with glioblastoma – the most malignant type of brain cancer. The authors present a comprehensive description of current state-of-the-art clinical neuroimaging for glioblastoma. They cover the basic concepts and most recent applications of clinical structural neuroimaging, as well as the latest innovations and up-and-coming techniques for functional imaging of glioblastoma patients.

Few comprehensive books are available in this challenging field of clinical medicine. The co-editors are experienced academic neuroradiologists with an active interest in clinical imaging and research of glioblastoma, all within a vibrant clinical environment at Stanford University where the latest innovations in glioblastoma imaging and treatment are being developed. In compiling this book, the co-editors have called upon many of the world’s best clinical and basic neuroscientists specializing in the management of patients with this malignancy, for their expert input on the latest imaging developments and applicable research into glioblastoma.

This book is intended for neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation therapists, and other physicians and scientists engaged in the study and clinical management of patients with glioblastoma. It should also serve as a unique educational and research resource for students and more experienced practitioners alike within this rapidly evolving field.

Reviews

Glioblastoma: State-of-the-Art Clinical Neuroimaging is much more than its title implies: it is the best and most comprehensive treatise on the subject. Edited and written by a cadre of world-renowned researchers and clinicians it provides an all-inclusive and systematic review of this rare but fascinating disease. It not only reviews what we knew, but also what we now know, and more importantly, what we should know about glioblastoma. This book belongs in the library of anyone who deals with patients and those researchers attempting to further elucidate glioblastoma.” – Mauricio Castillo, MD, FACR. JH Scatliff Distinguished Professor, Chief of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, USA

Glioblastoma: State-of-the-Art Clinical Neuroimaging represents a tour-de-force by not only discussing the mechanics of imaging but also by placing the imaging in context. Expert input from a wide range of experts is augmented by expertise in the biology, classification and epidemiology of glioblastoma and authoritative input on all aspects of clinical management. This book will therefore be an extremely useful reference work for imagers, clinicians and scientists alike. The level of detail is both broad and deep involving 32 chapters across 2 volumes and will prove a valuable addition to any office or library. Importantly the book emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and treating this devastating disease.” – Colin Watts, MB BS, PhD, FRCS(SN). Professor of Neurosurgery, Chair Birmingham Brain Cancer Program, University of Birmingham College of Medical and Dental Sciences, UK

“In an age when one is increasingly reliant on gathering information from multiple sources on the internet — and sometimes spending many fruitless hours searching for reliable material — this book offers a refreshing solution. Herein, important information from the best and brightest investigators in the field of glioblastoma is provided in a comprehensive manner. This book has something to offer anyone involved in brain tumor clinical care and research. Excellent material on the rapidly advancing fields of radiogenomics, quantitative image analysis, and other forms of advanced imaging is delivered. However, the book is not solely oriented towards imaging; it offers exceptional perspectives from the viewpoint of the neurosurgeon, neuro-oncologist and radiation oncologist. For the clinician or researcher who seeks an all-inclusive understanding of glioblastoma, “Glioblastoma: State-of-the-Art Clinical Neuroimaging” will serve as an essential resource.” – James M. Provenzale, MD, FACR. Professor, Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology, Duke University School of Medicine, USA

“I congratulate the editors and authors of this outstanding and comprehensive resource book on glioblastoma. It’s all here—compilation of essential information on biology, imaging, treatment and much more on glioblastoma.” Soonmee Cha, MD, Professor of Radiology and Neurological Surgery; Program Director, Diagnostic Radiology Residency; Vice Chair of Education; Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, San Francisco, CA, USA
