Key elements in the modern surgical treatment of metastatic brain tumors are a firm grasp of criteria for selection of proper surgical candidates and a thorough grounding in the surgical approaches to, and the anatomy of, cerebral metastases. It is important to realize that the presence of multiple
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) of the central nervous system, including medulloblastomas (PNET/MB), are the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. These tumors often express proteins characteristic of glial differentiation (glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP), neuronal differen
Previous prospective and retrospective trials have failed to demonstrate the best treatment approach for patients with brain metastases. As a result, fractionated whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has been the mainstay of treatment for several decades. However, with improved surgical techniques and th
