Описание:
Brain metastases are the most dreaded complication of systemic cancer, affecting approximately 170,000 people a year, a far greater incidence than primary brain tumors. Advances in modern chemotherapy have led to an improved control of system cancers, often with agents that poorly penetrate the central nervous system, resulting in an increasing incidence of brain metastases. Traditional chemotherapy has had little impact on brain metastases. The main therapeutic option is radiation therapy, and in a small number of patients - surgery. However, refinements in all of these treatments offer some positive outcomes and an increased ability to stratify patients based on certain criteria.
This book will bring current information on the presentation and management of patients with brain metastases, providing available data, giving guidelines that can be applied in day to day practice, updated information for neuro-surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and neuro-oncologists, as well as an overview for physicians in training.

Описание: We have approached the problem in the following fashion: first, by dividing the oncology literature into specific subdivisions such as lung cancer, genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc.;and second, by asking eminent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the specific topic on an annual or biannual basis.

Описание: Nous avons souhait une nouvelle dition sans refonte compl te de cet ouvrage, car le succ?'s de la premi re dition montre que le principe de ce livre est bien adapt une prise en charge multidisciplinaire de cette pathologie complexe. L actualisation des progr?'s r alis?'s sur le plan technique par chacun des acteurs tant sur le plan diagnostique que th rapeutique tait n cessaire et confirme la qualit de r sultat d une entreprise commune au service d un patient dans une situation particuli rement d licate. Il se veut pratique pour chacun des acteurs de la prise en charge et didactique pour ceux qui sont moins sp cialis?'s dans tel ou tel domaine. Cela nous a amen faire des choix, bien s r discutables, entra nant des explications parfois une peu trop videntes pour les connaisseurs, un peu trop techniques pour les n ophytes, des r p titions pour que chacun trouve dans son chapitre ce qui l int resse. Deux sujets m ritent une attention particuli re: la place de l IRM dans la strat gie diagnostique et th rapeutique et la place de la chirurgie vert brale dans la strat gie globale de la prise en charge de patients atteints de m tastase vert brale. La constatation unanime est que l IRM est l examen radiologique de r f rence du diagnostic et du bilan de la m tastase vert brale qui, au-del, permet un diagnostic pr coce notamment du retentissement neurologique pr clinique augurant d un meilleur pronostic fonctionnel. N anmoins, la place de l IRM doit tre situ e dans le contexte de la maladie canc reuse trait e et du retentissement sur la d cision th rapeutique globale et g n rale, ainsi que sur l avenir des patients. Le PET-Scan va trouver progressivement sa place de mani re plus pr cise. L IRM ne peut et ne doit pas tre pratiqu e de fa on syst matique en dehors d l ments de suspicion clinique, mais si elle est indiqu e, rien ne doit la retarder, car un diagnostic pr coce permet des traitements plus efficaces et moins invasifs. Les progr?'s et la diffusion de la vert broplastie sur les dix derni res ann es ont encore modifi?'s la prise en charge des patients: elle peut remplacer la chirurgie vert brale. Si elle est int gr e tr?'s t t dans la d cision th rapeutique et portant ventuellement sur plusieurs segments osseux, associ e la chirurgie, elle permet de r duire la longueur des montages et all ger d autant les suites th rapeutiques. C est une fois de plus l association des th rapeutiques, chacun apportant au patient sa modeste participation, n anmoins fondamentale, qui am liore le pronostic fonctionnel de nombreux patients.

Описание: This book, the result of close collaboration between two very specialized centers, one in spinal surgery, the other in oncology, was written to take stock of the current data on vertebral metastases. It is intended as both a pratical guide for all those involved in this field of care and a didactic reference for those who are less familiar with either of these specialties. All aspects of current knowledge of metastases are considered. Regarding diagnostics, MRI is at present indispensable and nessecitates a broad iconography. In the therapeutics section, so as to restituate vertebral metastasis in its proper general context, a chapter is devoted to the particularities of the treatment in terms of the primary cancer. This is fundamental since the sensitivity of tumors to systemic treatment is clearly not the same from one case to another. The role of surgery in vertebral metastases has changed completely over the last ten years with the increasing use osteosynthesis combined with decompressive procedures. The explanation of these techniques and their indications is largely based upon providing a suitable response to the mechanical problems posed at each location in the spinal column. Vertebroplasty and biphosphonates, two recent additions to the therapeutic armamentarium are detailed, along with conventional treatments such as radiation therapy and the comprehensive approach to pain management. In the present context of technological advances against vertebral metastases, physicians must not lose sight of the patient as an individual. This imperative prompted us to include a chapter on nursing and psychological cared. Another chapter addresses the continuity of care, placing responsability for the patient's management at present solely in the hands of a multidisciplinary team. A methodological review of the literature concludes that there still remains much work to be done for better assessment of the responsability for the welfare of these patients. Two leading US spinal surgeons have accepted to endorse this manuscript: J.P. Farcy and N. Sundaresan. The question of their contributing to the book was naturally raised. However, it seemed preferable to preserve the homogenous spirit driving the original group of collaborators.
