T2  - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice
AB  - This  chapter  aims  to  review  common  neuropsychiatric  manifestations  seen  in  patients  with  cancer,  as  well  as  principles  of  assessment  and  management  that  can  be  used  in  treating  these  patients.  It  will  start  with  a  discussion  of  primary  brain  tumors  and  explore  their  epidemiology,  classification,  pathophysiology,  and  clinical  presentation.  It  will  then  examine  neuropsychiatric  manifestations  of  cancers  that  metastasize  to  the  brain,  and  rare  complications  including  leptomeningeal  carcinomatoses.  Subsequently,  paraneoplastic  syndromes,  which  are  infrequent  but  challenging  causes  of  neuropsychiatric  symptoms  in  cancer  patients,  will  be  discussed.  This  will  be  followed  by  a  review  of  commonly  encountered  neuropsychiatric  symptoms  in  cancer  patients.  Additionally,  the  neuropsychiatric  side  effects  of  cancer  treatments,  including  radiation  therapy,  chemotherapy,  antiepileptic  drugs,  and  steroids  will  be  considered.  Finally,  the  chapter  will  address  the  treatment  of  neuropsychiatric  symptoms  in  cancer  patients  using  pharmacologic  and  behavioral  approaches.
