The cancer deaths in 2000 for brain and other nervous system primary tumors were estimated at 13,000: 7,100 males and 5,900 females. Input into this data also came from the National Cancer Institute: SEER Cancer Incidence Public-Use Database, 1973–1996, August 1998 Submission to the United States Department of Health and Human Services of the Public Health Service, Bethesda, Md, 1999. With the advances that have been made in the treatment of solid tumors by combined integrated multimodal programs of management including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, more patients are now being diagnosed with metastatic disease involving the brain. It has been estimated that more than 150,000 patients per year in the USA have brain metastasis as a part of their primary presentation or identified in subsequent follow- up. More than 50% of all patients with primary malignant tumors of the brain have high- grade gliomas of the brain. With the increase in primary malignant tumors among older patients over the past decade, there have been major developments and increased interest in new technologies in the treatment of these tumors. In general, primary brain neoplasms spred invasively without forming a natural capsule and present symptoms based on expan- sion of the tumor and surrounding edema within the skull. The management of primary malignant tumors of the brain remains a very significant and difficult problem in clinical practice. The lack of major response to treatment by the high-grade gliomas of the brain has been discouraging and clearly indicates the need for innovative new approaches in the management of these tumors. The present volume represents a concerted effort on the part of the authors to present data with regard to basic science evaluation and translation into clinical practice of tech- niques based on combined, integrated multimodal programs of management. The data brought together in this book clearly indicate the progress that has been made but, also, clearly indicate the need for additional innovative efforts in terms of management. It is the Editors’ firm belief that this volume represents the first publication of new inno- vative programs for combined treatment of primary malignant tumors of the brain as well as addressing the issues of the growing incidence of brain metastasis from solid tumors that are better controlled now by combined, integrated programs of management.

Molls 1234 Contents VII Preface Respice, Adspice, Prospice: Consider the Past, the Present, the Future Neoplastic involvement of the nervous system presents unique problems to the specialist therapeutic community. No other neoplasms have the capability of functional disruption with relatively small tumor burdens or challenge traditional surgical or oncologic principles more. There has been a natural evolution toward application of combined therapies which has been particularly evident with increasing sophistication in the closing decades of the twentieth century. In surgery, the specialty of neurological surgery has been completely reinvented thanks to the introduction of the operating microscope, modern imaging, novel stereotactic principles, and the computer as a functional and practical operative tool. Similar refinements have been seen in the field of radiation oncology, with computerized planning and the introduction of stereotactic imaging-directed radiosurgery by rotational and fixed beam methods. Concurrently, the practical emergence of cellular and molecular biology as a diagnostic probe and therapeutic companion to more traditional treatment methods is offering exciting new possibilities for the management of problems that have been persistently enigmatic. More information is available regarding the efficacy and application of chemotherapeutic methods to a broad spectrum of these neoplasms. Therefore, in general overview the remarkable escalation in technical ability, information base and knowledge within the past two decades allows new capabilities and possibilities in management protocols. This is particularly exciting regarding central nervous system neo- plasms, which in general lend themselves to combined, multimodality management for optimization of outcome and the satisfying of the all-important requirement for functional preservation. Given these considerations, this multidimensional text has been composed and carefully assembled to present a view of the past, present, and future in the management of central nervous system neoplasms. It also has an international perspective presented in order to convey the current body of knowledge related to epidemiology, pathology, molecular biol- ogy, and therapeutic principles as a basis for individual attention to the principal categories of neoplastic problems affecting the nervous system – extraaxial, and intraaxial, cranial and spinal, adult and pediatric, primary and metastatic. Sophisticated perspectives of the surgeon, radiation oncologist, oncologist, and oncology nurse are presented in an effort to define modernity in the field for those desiring a succinct but substantive overall view.
