The British Neuro-oncology Society and the National Cancer Action Team have worked together to produce national guidelines on treating rare brain and CNS tumours, such as Primary CNS Lymphoma, Pineal and Optic Pathway Glioma, and Adult PNET. The guidelines, which were prompted by the government report 'Improving Outcomes for People with Brain and other CNS Tumours' (June 2006) cover clinical treatment as well as pathology and biology.
