Summary: "This book covers recent substantial improvements in diagnosis and treatment of anterior skull base tumors. This has been fostered by the introduction and rapid expansion of transnasal endoscopic techniques, in parallel with extraordinary progress made in all the other disciplines (pathology, radiology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology) which are involved in the complex process of managing these tumors. Chapters address nuances of treatment in relation to histology, as well as present views on selection criteria for surgical techniques"-- Provided by publisher.
