Impact of Surgery on Brain Cancer and Other Central Nervous System Tumors

Dear Colleagues,

In CNS oncological disease, surgery plays a key role in the treatment. Modern neurosurgery has allowed a broadening of resectability criteria by improving both extension and postoperative side effects. However, radical surgery is not always possible given the treatment site. This Special Issue would like to take stock of the impact of surgical treatment in clinical terms.

We hope to stimulate scientific attention on a delicate and highly impacting aspect in determining the clinical outcome of patients with brain and CNS neoplasms, such as surgical extension, which is a point that has still not been clarified in various oncological pathologies of the central nervous system. We believe it is necessary to develop a Special Issue to collect works focused on the impact and role of surgery in different oncological diseases in CNS. We look forward to your contributions.
