Humanizing Brain Tumors – Strategies for You and Your Physician

Three practising doctors present the stories of nine individuals diagnosed with brain tumours.

Humanizing Brain Tumors details the lived experiences of patients and their loved ones, from the presentation of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment. These nine test cases and the accompanying compendium offer insight and guidance to anyone living with, caring for, or treating those with brain tumours. Written with a humanistic, yet realistic touch, the authors have created a resource that reminds readers of the important partnership between doctors, patients, and caregivers.

This collection delves into our modern understanding of brain tumours, using clinical presentation to illustrate the patient experience and summarise methods of treatment. Imagery, including both MRI scans and medical illustrations, facilitates a vivid description of neuroanatomy. Providing a concise description of modern forms of treatment for patients affected with brain tumours, this book presents a patient-centric perspective.

Humanizing Brain Tumors will appeal to the hundreds of thousands of patients and their loved ones who are affected by brain tumours every year.
