Abstract:
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Joint Section on Tumors was formed in December of 1984 as the first professional organization devoted to the study and treatment of brain tumors. One year earlier, the Journal of Neuro-Oncology had been established and went on to be sponsored by the Joint Section on Tumors. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Section, we are thrilled to bring you this special issue of Journal of Neuro-Oncology in which current leaders of the Joint Section on Tumors highlight their work and the work of others that have led to significant recent advances in the management of tumors of the central nervous system.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
