TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface to the Second Edition A1 - Berkowitz, Aaron L. PY - 2022 T2 - Clinical Neurology & Neuroanatomy: A Localization-Based Approach, 2e AB - In the five years since the first edition of this book, there has been an explosion in new knowledge that directly impacts our care of patients with neurologic disease. New treatments have emerged for epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and migraine. New diseases have been characterized (antibody-mediated syndromes), new criteria for diagnosis of existing diseases have been established (multiple sclerosis), and new categorizations of existing diseases have been created (brain tumors). New clinical trial data has transformed the treatment of acute stroke. New treatments for systemic cancer (immunotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy) have generated a new spectrum of cancer treatment-associated neurologic conditions. All of these exciting updates are included in this second edition, and still this book will likely have aspects that are out-of-date as soon as it goes to press. What other field of medicine has come so far in so short a time, and yet still has so far to go? This constant evolution is one of many aspects that makes neurology such a dynamic, engaging, and meaningful field to study and practice.
