Advances in Neuro-Oncology: A Comprehensive Overview

Neuro-oncology is a specialized field focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of tumors affecting the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. These tumors pose significant challenges due to their complex interactions with critical neurological functions and their heterogeneous biological nature. Recent advances in molecular biology, imaging technologies, and therapeutic approaches have significantly improved the understanding and management of neuro-oncological conditions. This article explores the epidemiology, classification, molecular mechanisms, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic interventions in neuro-oncology. We emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and highlight promising avenues for future research, including precision medicine and immunotherapy. By addressing the current challenges and opportunities, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of neuro-oncology, contributing to improved patient outcomes.
