Diagnosis of Tumours of the Central Nervous System

My part in this discussion is to deal with the accessory methods of diagnosis, but first I feel that I must emphasize the importance of what Miss Beck has so ably claimed for clinical methods. Before using accessory methods the neurologist must assess the clinical picture and the patient. There are certain cases suspected of intracranial tumour in which thorough clinical investigation discloses...

The Diagnosis of Tumours of the Central Nervous System

This paper is concerned with the clinical diagnosis of tumours of the central nervous system : the pure clinical investigation which from long practice has come to include certain of the special methods, ophthalmoscopy, perimetry and lumbar puncture. Although the only true symptom of a tumour of the central nervous system is progressive loss of neurological function, gradual and of varying pace...

Molecular pathology of paediatric central nervous system tumours.

Advances in our understanding of the biology of paediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumours have encouraged pathologists to use molecular markers alongside histopathological analysis for disease classification or prognostication and treatment stratification. In this article, we review molecular genetic alterations in paediatric CNS tumours, including those in low-grade and high-grade glioma...
