Malignant skull base tumors.
A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of malignant cranial base tumors has resulted in improved resections with less morbidity and a greater potential for cure. An improved understanding of the complex anatomy has allowed the development of new surgical approaches and improved methods of reconstruction. The authors' experience with the treatment of malignant neoplasms of the cranial base is reviewed, with emphasis on biologic behavior of this diverse group of neoplasms.
