Abstract
Significant advances in the design and understanding of the materials and systems of 1-100 nm have provided unprecedented tools to probe, diagnose, and treat diseases at the molecular level with greater efficiency and accuracy. In particular, optical and chemical properties of nanomaterials are being exploited to improve the effectiveness of neuro-oncological and neurosurgical interventions. Modern nanotechnology-driven clinical applications may have significant impact on management of brain tumors.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
