| Abstract: | This book is part of an on-going series whose purpose is to provide monographs and collections of in-depth reviews covering all aspects of neurology. This volume contains a comprehensive examination of metastatic and nonmetastatic neurologic complications of cancer originating outside the nervous system. Chapter topics include pathophysiology of metastasis, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, intracranial and leptomeningeal metastases, vascular disorders, central nervous system infections, side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Primary CNS neoplasms and cancer associated pain are not specifically addressed. The text is illustrated and closes with a list of over 2900 references and an index. |
