    Summary: This text addresses all aspects of patient evaluation and care. This includes new findings in imaging that provide a better understanding of the extent of the lesion as well as its relationship with critical neuroanatomic function. The evolution of intraoperative imaging, functional brain mapping,and technology to identify tumor from brain is covered. This has significantly improved the ability of surgeons to more safely and aggressively remove tumors.More importantly, a better understanding of tumor biology and genomics has created an opportunity to significantly revise tumor classification and better select optimal therapy for individual patients. The text covers novel and innovative treatment options including immunotherapy, tumor vaccines, antiangiogenic agents,and personalized cancer treatment. In addition, novel agent delivery techniques are covered to offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of treatment by delivering active agents directly where they are needed most. Malignant Brain Tumors: State-of-the-Art Treatment provides a comprehensive overview of treatment for malignant gliomas, and will prove useful by updating physicians on new therapeutic paradigms and what is on the horizon for the near future. This text will be informative for surgeons, oncologists, neurologists, residents and students who treat these patients,as well as those who are training for a career in managing patients with these challenging tumors. .

    The normal response to stress can be understood in terms of periods of outcry, denial, and intrusive thoughts leading to working-through to completion. The general physician who understands this pattern can assist the patient through the denial phase by encouraging ventilation and through the intrusive phase by providing structure, advice, and medication to temper the painful feelings. With such assistance, most patients can integrate the stress event into their lives, with the duration of response related to the severity of the stress. A year of stress response after the death of a loved one is common. Psychiatric referral is indicated if the stress response seems unduly prolonged, has lead to maladjustive reactions, is disproportionate to the actual loss, or threatens to overwhelm the person.
