Neuro-Oncology 2009: Current Concepts
September 11-12, 2009
Ritz Carlton Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio
Description
The care of patients with brain and other neural-based tumors has become increasingly complex. Patients arrive at offices armed with the latest laboratory and clinical trial data gleaned from the web. Many of these advances offer hope in the care for this difficult patient population, but it can be daunting for the practitioner to digest the ever-increasing volume of data.
The Neuro-Oncology 2009 symposium brings to Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cleveland, OH, national and international leaders in clinical care and laboratory investigation of brain tumors. Faculty and participants will spend 2 days discussing advances in imaging, molecular biology, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and alternative therapies in the care of these patients with central nervous system tumors.
Additional contributions are sought from attendees for papers for platform or poster presentation.
