title: The neurosurgical aspects in the treatment of cerebral tumours.
abstract: Experience with more than 500 tumour cases operated in one year in the National Institute of Neurosurgery and the relevant oncological literature point to an important role of neurosurgery in the treatment of cerebral tumours. After reviewing the dramatic advances of neuroimaging and neurosurgical methods the main problems of neuro-oncology will be brought to light and the new directions of brain tumour research will be shown.
