Abstract
The technological advances in molecular genetics which have been made from the middle of the 1980s onwards have permitted a new approach to the study of carcinogenesis and are also providing a remarkable and promising volume of data on CNS tumors. The reader is referred to specialized publications on the theoretical basis of biology and molecular genetics. In this chapter, an overview of the most recent discoveries in this field relating to CNS tumors is presented.
