At the same time that studies indicate an increase in the frequency of brain tumors, improvements in diagnosis and treatment have increased the clinician's ability to deal with these cancers. Dr. Posner, Chairman of the Department of Neurology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, encourages physicians to be alert for symptoms of brain tumors, to be positive about treatment, and to be prepared to refer patients to investigative treatment so that progress can continue.
