“A Book With a Purpose
A brain tumor in a child is never just a tumor.
Behind every diagnosis is a child still growing, learning, and developing – and a family whose life has been changed by the diagnosis.
This is one of the reasons Andrea Carai and I chose to create ‘Navigating Pediatric Brain Tumors’, published by Springer Nature.
Pediatric brain tumors are complex and rapidly evolving, with advances in molecular science transforming how we understand and treat them.
Yet caring for these children requires more than scientific knowledge. It requires a multidisciplinary approach that keeps the child, not just the disease, at the center of care.
This textbook was composed as a comprehensive, evidence-based resource for the medical community caring for children with brain tumors.
It also recognizes that care extends beyond disease-directed therapy, addressing the physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs of children and their families throughout their journey.
My heartfelt thanks to all the authors and contributors from around the world whose expertise and collaboration made this book possible.
We hope it will serve as a trusted companion to the professionals caring for children with brain tumors.
But above all, This Book is dedicated to our patients and their families.
Their courage and resilience inspire our work and remind us that while we navigate tumors, they are navigating childhood itself.”
