Hugues Duffau – författare

This issue of Neurosurgery Clinics, guest edited by Drs. Guy McKhann and Hugues Duffau, with consulting editors Russell R. Lonser and Daniel K. Resnick, will focus on Low-Grade Glioma. Topics includes, but are not limited to, Epidemiology and Molecular Epidemiology; WHO Pathological and Molecular Classification; Molecular Pathogenesis; Glioma Cell Migration and Heterogeneity; Clinical Presentation, Natural History, and Prognosis; LGG Epilepsy; MRI, fMRI, DTI, Molecular Imaging; Brain Mapping Techniques in LGG; Surgical Adjuncts to Increase EOR iMRI, Flourescence, Raman Histology; Mapping Cognition and Emotion; Extent of Resection; EOR vs Molecular Classification; Chemotherapy Treatment and Trials; Radiotherapy Treatment and Trials; Higher Order Surgical Questions; and Building a Glioma Practice.

The second edition of this well-received volume has been revised and updated to reflect the  advances in pathological classification and molecular epidemiology of diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) in adults and offers an updated review on individualized therapies. This book presents the latest research pertaining to the diagnosis, genetics, therapy and management of DLGGs.  It extensively covers recent research on the natural history of DLGGs and their interaction with the brain and reviews the new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies which increase survival and quality of life of the patient.New topics covered are the management of DLGGs during pregnancy, functional rehabilitation of patients with DLGG and the onco-functional balance in DLGG, among others. The reader will have the opportunity to gain insight in both clinical and basic science aspects of this type of tumor and learn about the application of novel imaging techniques such as diffussion tensor imaging.   Edited by a leading expert in the field and authored by a team of recognised specialists, this book is a valuable resource for medical oncologists, neuro-oncologists and neurologists.
