Synopsis
The overall incidence of meningiomas, particularly in the developed countries, is rising due to the growing size of the aging population. Additionally, increased utilization of imaging studies such as CT and MRI has contributed to improved detection of incidental meningiomas. This book combines up-to-date information in all matters related to meningiomas with comprehensive coverage on the subject, and is written by multiple contributors - internationally recognized experts in their respective fields from Asia, USA and Europe. This is an essential reference guide for neurosurgeons and neurologists in training and in practice, as well as an important addition to medical libraries throughout the world., With the overall incidence of meningiomas rising, particularly in the developed countries, this timely book contains the most up-to-date information on them, and is written by multiple contributors who are internationally recognized experts in their fields., Joung H. Lee has assembled a masterful volume on the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of meningiomas. It is complete in that it covers all aspects of this tumor; every location is discussed by acknowledged experts and every technique is described in detail. Basic biology forms an important and up-to-date part of the text. This book will serve as a reference for many years; in particular, Dr. Lee feels surgeons and future patients will benefit. There is little question that these aims will be fulfilled in this important tour de force. John A. Jane, Sr., MD, PhD Charlottesville, VA, USA vii Preface In planning this book, I had three major goals. The first was to compile and disseminate all the advances and new information relating to meningiomas which became available in the last 15-20 years. In this time frame, there has been a significant increase in our understanding in regards to the meningioma pathologic classification, the natural history and basic science. Dramatic technological advancements have also been made in diagnostic and interventional radiology as well as in surgical and radiation treatments for meningiomas, such as incorporation of the following in the treatment armamentaria: endoscopy, various skull base techniques, computer-assisted surgery and radiosurgery. Additionally, new information regarding surgical outcome and patient selection for surgery are becoming available, all of which are resulting in a significant change in how neurosurgeons treat patients with meningiomas. The second goal for this book was to teach and stimulate the next generation of neurosurgeons., Joung H. Lee has assembled a masterful volume on the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of meningiomas.

    I was searching for this book for a while and was appalled at the cost. I came across this seller and I was happy with the price from the seller. The seller messaged to let me know that this was the global version before it was actually shipped. That, I appreciated so much. My book arrived in perfect condition, looks great. The packaging was secure and the book, brand new. This is of great quality both in the service and the book. I will definitely use this seller again. Excellent!

    Exactly what I ordered, came within the requested delivery date, and in great condition. It was wrapped so well that even though the corner had a very small dent in it, the book inside the package was in perfect condition. For anyone wondering, this seller is LEGIT and offers excellent service.
