title: Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant brain tumors.
abstract: Malignant brain tumors are tough to treat. The plethora of novel technological advances and the multitude of experimental therapies are indicative of this reality. However, it becomes clear that no magical panacea will provide the cure, and only step-wise progression of research and improved technological advances to enhance the efficacy of surgical and adjuvant therapies will eventually improve the outcome of brain tumor patients.
