Neuro-oncology

Neuro-oncology is the study and treatment of tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, including brain and spinal cord neoplasms. These tumors may be primary, originating from neural tissue, or secondary, representing metastases from systemic cancers. Common primary tumors include glioblastomas, astrocytomas, meningiomas, and medulloblastomas, each with distinct biological behavior, prognosis, and treatment strategies. Neuro-oncology integrates neurosurgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and increasingly, targeted molecular therapies and immunotherapies to optimize patient outcomes. Diagnosis involves neuroimaging, particularly MRI and PET scans, alongside biopsy and histopathological analysis. Molecular profiling and genetic testing help guide precision medicine approaches, enabling personalized therapy. Clinical presentation varies depending on tumor location and size, with symptoms ranging from headaches, seizures, and cognitive deficits to motor and sensory impairments. Multidisciplinary care is essential, involving neurosurgeons, neurologists, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and rehabilitation specialists. Recent advances include minimally invasive surgical techniques, stereotactic radiosurgery, immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and AI-assisted imaging for tumor detection and monitoring. Neuro-oncology research focuses on understanding tumor biology, resistance mechanisms, and developing innovative therapies to improve survival and quality of life. Palliative care and supportive interventions are also critical, addressing pain management, neurological deficits, and emotional well-being. Neuro-oncology represents a rapidly evolving field where translational research, technological innovation, and patient-centered care converge to advance therapeutic outcomes.
