| Description | Conference Overview
This conference will provide a state-of-the-art update on the multimodality management of brain and skull base tumors including advances in imaging and treatment. MEDICAL Therapy: A wide array of immunotherapies and targeted therapies are now available for both primary and secondary brain tumors. SURGICAL Therapy: Technical advances in navigation and endoscopy have helped improve surgical safety and efficacy and facilitated use of keyhole approaches for many brain tumors. RADIOTHERAPY: More focused radiosurgery and radiotherapy are providing safer treatments for tumors unable to be effectively treated with surgery or medical therapy alone. |
| Objectives | Conference Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
* Discuss the incidence of benign and malignant intracranial tumors
* Describe the importance of new imaging modalities for diagnosing and treating brain tumors
* Recognize the various clinical presentations of intracranial tumors
* Identify histopathological features of benign and malignant intracranial tumors
* Define new and emerging immuno- and targeted therapies for gliomas and brain metastases
