title: Progress in the management of childhood brain tumors.
abstract: The authors have attempted to summarize the contributions that have been made towards improvements in the management of children with brain tumors by the development of sophisticated imaging tools for diagnosis, by the development of more sophisticated and versatile neurosurgical tools, by refinements in radiation therapy delivery equipment and techniques, and by the introduction of chemotherapy into therapy regimens. Overall, the interaction of all of these modalities is stressed, culminating in a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to the management of children with brain tumors.
