This volume covers the most important areas of glioblastoma surgical resection, molecular pathology, targeted therapies, cancer stem cells, the role of DNA methylation, targeted sequencing for personalized therapy, animal models and advances in pediatric glioblastoma. Chapter authors are junior and senior investigators, who are well established in their particular areas and include neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, neurooncologists and basic scientists.

Emphasizes on biology and current standard of care as well as promising novel therapeutic approaches in glioblastoma therapy Update on genetically engineered mouse models and their use in preclinical drug development Highlights the distinct nature of pediatric high grade glioma, the most common childhood solid cancer Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
