Nothing endures but change.

For eleven years, Neuro-Oncology has led the charge to educate and report on the progress of the broad community of scientists and physicians working, directly or indirectly, to improve care for patients with brain tumors. The journal started, as journals do, as a dream, a hope, a sparkle in someone's eye—in this case, founding editor Darell Bigner's eye, and the eyes of those at the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation who saw a need for a journal that would fulfill a particular mission: to provide the international neuro-oncology community with high-quality, rapid information from all areas of the field.
