Brain and Spinal Tumors of Childhood

A few months before the publication of this book, Joachin Kühl succumbed to a brain tumour.
It is an absurd fate for a physician to die of the disease against which he dedicated a great part of his professional life and his research.
Joachin Kühl graduated at the University of Wurzburg where he became responsible physician for the paediatric oncology department in 1979.
In 1981 he completed his training in paediatrics, becoming a professor of paediatrics in 1994 and Extraordinary Professor in 2002.
In 1987 Joachin Kühl founded the German Brain Tumour Study Group.
The idea for this book arose during the mid-1990s, when the editors and authors were meeting each other in the specialized neuro-oncology multidisciplinary teams that were developing in children’s hospitals, the national and international meetings where advances in clinical practice and applied research were reported, and the strengthening national and international clinical trials groups developing in Europe and the USA.-The Editors:DAVID A. WALKER, GIORGIO PERILONGO, JONATHAN A. G. PUNT AND ROGER E. TAYLOR
