7 Series Editor s Note Despite their relative rarity, tumors of the pineal region have remained of great interest to neurosurgeons, radiation, and medical oncologists. At many international meetings, controversy reigns as the merits and risks of various treatment strategies are debated. In Asia, the incidence of germ cell tumors seems much greater than the incidence seen in North American or European populations. Classification systems are occasionally confusing as tumors of the pineal region may arise from cells within the pineal parenchyma, from germ cell origin, from adjacent structures including the dorsal midbrain, from other midline structures, or from the tentorium. In this volume, the authors report various diagnostic and treatment strategies for tumors of the pineal region, emphasizing multimodality management in many patients. For some patients of the pineal region, the evaluation often needs to include pertinent serum or cerebrospinal fluid markers, which may be elevated in nongerminomatous germ cell tumors (a rather oxymoronic term developed by pathologists to confuse clinicians, I suppose). High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is critical to assess the tumor and to follow the response to treatment. A variety of treatment modalities as well as various surgical approaches are discussed in this volume. We have asked many Asian colleagues to present their experience in this volume, in part because of the more frequent management of these tumors in the Asian population. I am sure that their findings are applicable to all patients and all centers that diagnose pineal region tumors. L. Dade Lunsford, Pittsburgh, Pa., USA VII
8 Preface The pineal region is an anatomic location where a wide variety of intracranial tumors occur. Germ cell tumors (GCTs) and pineal parenchymal tumors are the most frequently encountered. The frequency of pineal GCTs is higher in Asian countries, including Japan, while pineal parenchymal tumors are less frequently detected in Asia than in the United States and European countries. Emeritus Prof. Naoki Kageyama, Nagoya University School of Medicine, my teacher and one of the pioneers of GCT studies in Japan, described ectopic pinealoma as another name for suprasellar germinomas in Many original studies of intracranial GCTs by Japanese investigators have contributed to the evolution of the treatment for pineal region tumors. The current volume of Progress in Neurological Surgery takes advantage of the knowledge of Japanese experts on pineal tumors, with special emphasis on epidemiology, pathological diagnosis, and surgical, radiotherapeutic, radiosurgical and chemotherapeutic management options. We hope that this volume will enhance the knowledge of our colleagues about the various manifestations and treatment options available in the modern era of neurosurgery. Tatsuya Kobayashi, Nagoya IX
