    Description / Table of Contents: Brain metastases are the most dreaded complication of systemic cancer, affecting some 170,000 people a year, a far greater incidence than primary brain tumors. This book presents current information on the presentation and management of patients with brain metastases, providing available data, giving guidelines that can be applied in day to day practice, updated information for neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and neuron-oncologists, and as an overview for physicians in training.

    Notes: Abstract High dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous (bone marrow or peripheral blood) stem cell rescue (ASCR) has had success in the treatment of some malignant pediatric brain tumors. We report a series of adults enrolled in one of three HDCT and ASCR protocols for malignant primary brain tumors. Overall toxic mortality was 18%; chemotherapy regimen, tumor type, and prior treatment did not predict transplant-related mortality. Patients over the age of 30 had a higher rate of toxic mortality. Patients with recurrent medulloblastoma had a significant improvement in long-term survival (median: 34 months) as compared with historical reports; two patients with glioblastoma survive beyond four years without progression, but overall, a significant improvement in long-term survival could not be demonstrated for malignant gliomas.

    Notes: Abstract Isolated neurosarcoidosis can present with a wide range of central nervous system manifestations. We present two cases of cauda equina sarcoidosis misdiagnosed initially as leptomeningeal malignancy, and review the literature. This unusual manifestation of neurosarcoidosis is typified by an indolent, chronic process with limited response to corticosteroid therapy.
