Future challenges

Abstract

As the last chapter is edited and dispatched to the publishers, the references are tidied and the images and figures numbered and located in the text, we realize that this book has brought together the editors and authors in a single project linking people, organizations, clinical practice, science and technology, psychology and education, methods of communication, nations, languages, cultures, and continents in the interests of children and their families. These pages have thrown down the gauntlet to the neuro-oncologists of tomorrowto introduce these ideas into their health systems, to integrate their growing knowledge of adjuvant treatments and their toxicities, so that they effectively complement the operative skills of the neurosurgeon in the multidisciplinary meeting, the operating room, and the clinical trials meeting.
