Abstract

Novel diagnostic and therapeutic information has had a major impact on the care of patients with high-grade gliomas. These advances and discoveries are highlighted using case-based discussions to focus attention on the important diagnostic and treatment decisions that commonly arise during the care of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, and anaplastic oligodendroglioma.
