Abstract:	This book provides a broad overview of the current "state-of-the-art" in the use of chemotherapy for primary and metastatic brain tumors and includes information on traditional and non-traditional forms of chemotherapy. In addition, newer molecular-based chemotherapeutic agents are included. Well-founded in basic science and pharmacology, the chapters provide an overview of relevant background material in critical areas such as drug pharmacology and mechanisms of action, molecular biology, signal transduction pathways, angiogenesis pathways, and developmental pharmacology.
