Brain tumors
J. B. Posner
At the same time that studies indicate an increase in the frequency of
brain tumors, improvements in diagnosis and treatment have increased the
clinician's ability to deal with these cancers. Dr. Posner, Chairman of the
Department of Neurology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New
York City, encourages physicians to be alert for symptoms of brain tumors,
to be positive about treatment, and to be prepared to refer patients to
investigative treatment so that progress can continue.
