From the reviews:
"This book summarizes the current knowledge of the late effects of brain malignancies. … The intended audience includes physicians, nurses, psychologists, and other health professionals who care for CNS tumor survivors. … it is easy to follow and understand. The authors are all leaders in the field. … this book should be on the shelves of both medical and consumer libraries." (Joseph I. Sirven, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2009)
