Overview: Types of brain cancers.Subtyping of meningioma.Introduction to new technologies and their applications to tumor diagnosis.Molecular profiling of brain tumors.Surgical treatments for brain tumorsVarious aspects, including diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis, of two brain tumors (meningioma and schwannoma) , of brain tumors are discussed in this volume. Insights on the understanding of molecular pathways involved in brain tumor biology are explained. For example, the role of E-cadherin gene instability, carbonic anhydrase 11, urokinase plasminogen activator, and Wnt signaling is discusse
