Abstract
The classification of central neurocytoma (CN) by the WHO was upgraded to grade 2 in 1993 as it was recognized that at least some of these tumors can exhibit more aggressive behavior. Currently, as of 2016, CN is classified as WHO grade 2. Indeed, some atypical variants have been reported and residual postsurgical tumor is believed to have the potential for malignant transformation. Although gross total resection is usually curative for CN (5-year survival rate 99%), it is achieved in nearly 30-50% of cases due to its central location. Adjuvant treatments should be deliberately considered for the optimal management of CN. Recently, stereotactic radiosurgery is increasingly proposed as an adjuvant treatment for CN.
期刊介绍：
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
