Stem cells in neuro-oncology — development, regeneration and treatment

  • Conference paper
Local Therapies for Glioma Present Status and Future Developments

Part of the book series: Acta Neurochirurgica Supplements ((NEUROCHIRURGICA,volume 88))

Abstract

The major obstacles to successful eradication of central nervous system (CNS) tumors are, firstly, the extensive invasive and migratory capacity of malignant cells and, secondly, the devastating effects of injury to the brain due to tumor growth and unwanted side effects caused by conventional therapy.
