The Textbook of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery will become a reference text in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. The authors have been selected based on their international recognition and academic excellence in the field. It covers stereotactic principles as well as functional stereotaxis. Amongst the stereotactic principles are discussions of frame-based and frameless systems of stereotaxis, image guidance stereotaxis, atlases and the technical aspects of radiosurgery. Within functional neurosurgery, disorders covered include the diagnosis and management of pain, epilepsy, movement disorders and the rediscovered field of surgery for psychiatric disorders. The book ends with a look into the future of technological advances. Videos on DVD or online show the surgical procedures step by step.

The book invites the reader to an exciting journey through the vast fields of neurosurgery, accompanied by a large panel of leading neurosurgeons. At a time when neurosurgery has a tendency to segment in many subspecialties, the goal was to regroup practical lessons from experienced neurosurgeons. In addition, the book represents an anthology of ninety worldwide recognized neurosurgeons, with the main features of their curriculum and contributions. The book has three volumes which cover the following items: Volume 1: Techniques and cranial approaches; vascular lesions; cranial traumas; CSF/infectious diseases - Volume 2: Intracranial tumors; intraoperative explorations - Volume 3: Pediatrics; spine; functional neurosurgery; peripheral nerves.

An Introduction to Oncology provides an easily understood and general overview of the basic medical, scientific and clinical aspects of cancer. Causes, pathology, clinical features, diagnostic investigations, treatments and outcomes are all carefully explained and discussed, both for cancers in general and for the common cancers in individual countries. The reader will thereby be provided with an understanding of how and why people develop cancer, how the body reacts to cancer, what can be done to prevent the disease, and how the various cancers are best diagnosed and treated. The book will serve as a sound basis for the more detailed or specific studies that may be needed in different areas of practice and in different countries. It will be invaluable for students of medicine, nurse oncologists, students of medical sciences and other health professionals in all parts of the world.

As compared with cytology's use in other organ systems, direct cytological examination of the endometrium is not a widely practiced diagnostic procedure. This volume highlights endometrial cytology as an effective method for ensuring endometrial normalcy and discovering and diagnosing malignant and premalignant states. Endometrial Cytology with Tissue Correlations covers the background, collection technique, diagnostic criteria and pitfalls, as well as reliability of endometrial cytology. This volume, part of the Essentials in Cytopathology book series, fits into the lab coat pocket and is ideal for portability and quick reference. Each volume in the series is heavily illustrated with a full color art program, while the text follows a user-friendly outline format.
