Tumours of the central nervous system

Surgery plays a key role in the management of brain tumours. The prognosis for a brain tumour diagnosis remains poor, but without the input of the surgical team, the outcomes would be bleaker. Innovations in understanding of the molecular biology of brain tumours may identify new targets for future therapy, but for now we should maximize the opportunities offered by surgery. In this article, we will examine recent updates in understanding of brain tumour biology and the implications for management.
