The Interface Between Neurology and Oncology

This issue of Neurologic Clinics is devoted to nervous system tumors as well as neurologic complications of cancer and cancer therapy. Since the last issue devoted to neuro-oncology 10 years ago, increased understanding of the molecular underpinnings of primary brain tumors has led to the addition of molecular parameters for the first time to the WHO classification of central nervous system tumors. Therefore, the first half of this issue focuses on the molecular pathogenesis of gliomas, the reasoning behind the recent changes in WHO classification, and their implications for management of adult and pediatric brain tumors.
