Radiation oncology for pediatric CNS tumors
Radiation oncology for pediatric CNS tumors[electronic resource] /edited by Anita Mahajan, Arnold Paulino. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xv, 639 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Part I: Basic Priciples: Historical Perspective -- Epidemiology -- Pathology -- Radiology -- Neurosurgery -- Chemotherapy -- Part II: Embryonal Brain Tumors: Medulloblastoma -- SPNET -- ATR/ETANTR (EMTR) -- Part III: Ependymoma -- Part IV: Glial Tumors: Low Grade Glioma -- Optic Pathway -- High Grade Glioma -- Brainstem Glioma -- Craniopharyngioma -- Part V: Germ Cell Tumors: Germinoma -- NGGCT -- Part VI: Miscellaneous Tumors: CNS Leukemia -- Retinoblastoma -- Spinal Tumors -- Choroid Plexus Carcinoma -- Skull Base Tumor -- Pituitary Tumors -- Brain Mets -- Part VII: Radiotherapy Practice: Immobilization -- Image Guidance -- Conformal RT -- Conformal RT -- Particle Therapy -- Craniopsinal Irradiation -- Radiosurgery and HFRT -- Re-irradiation -- Part VIII: Radiotherapy Toxicity and Management: Neurocognitive -- Endocrine -- Vision -- Hearing -- Vascular and Brain -- Susequent malignancy -- Ethics of Treating Young Children.

This book reviews the principles and applications of radiotherapy in the management of pediatric brain tumors to allow the reader to gain a full appreciation of the major aspects involved in caring for these patients. Individual sections are devoted to basic principles, specific management for the full range of tumor entities, radiotherapy techniques, and potential toxicities and their management. The book is written and edited by world leaders in pediatric radiotherapy, and care has been taken to cover the latest advances in diagnosis and radiotherapy techniques. Pediatric brain tumors represent a diverse group of neoplasms that require carefully planned management for successful definitive treatment. Radiotherapy is one of the fundamental components in treatment for the majority of these vulnerable patients. The optimal radiation therapy approach will depend on multiple factors, including tumor type and location, extent of disease, age of the patient, and other therapies. A thorough understanding of the natural history of the disease, communication with the multidisciplinary team, full knowledge of available radiotherapy techniques, and consideration of potential acute and late toxicities are therefore essential for each patient.
