Neuro-Oncology
An Introduction to Neuro-Oncology
Neuro-oncology is a rapidly evolving field, encompassing the diagnosis and management of primary and metastatic tumours of the central nervous system and complications of systemic cancers or cancer treatment. Advances in neuroimaging have allowed accurate screening for intracranial disease at initial cancer diagnosis, precise targeting of intracranial lesions during treatment and differentiation of treatment effects from disease progression by incorporating functional imaging. Other recent advances include tumour treating fields; hippocampal avoidance whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT); WBRT with memantine; use of artificial intelligence together with stereotactic radiotherapy; and systemically delivered immunotherapies, including vaccines and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
