number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with acoustic neuroma is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about acoustic neuroma, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to acoustic neuroma, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on acoustic neuroma Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to acoustic neuroma, these are noted in the text E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated) If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on acoustic neuroma The Editors From the NIH, National Cancer Institute (NCI): http://www.cancer.gov/cancerinfo/ten-things-to-know 146 Acoustic Neuroma Somatic: Pertaining
