Welcome to Select Review in Neuro-Oncology. It is our hope that this will be a valuable resource for individuals with an interest in Neuro-Oncology. Our objective is to provide a periodic summary of pertinent information in the literature related to brain tumors. A distinct and important feature of this effort is its multi-disciplinary focus. Individuals from across the country in ten different disciplines including the basic sciences have pledged their support to this effort. The Select Review in Neuro-Oncology is sponsored by the Joint Section on Tumors of The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. Significant support for this project is provided by members of The Society for Neuro-Oncology.

Special thanks goes to the editors, staff, and advisory board members listed on this page. Their willingness to donate time and effort is essential to the success of the Select Review in Neuro-Oncology. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.
