Register now for a complimentary four-hour virtual course on the challenges of clinical care and research in rare CNS tumors and a discussion of possible solutions to improve outcomes
September 25, 2020
11:00am – 3:00pm ET (US)
This course is a collaborative effort of the Society for Neuro-Oncology; National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health; Erasmus MC Cancer Institute; Yale University and Brigham and Women's Hospital; Piedmont Healthcare; Cambridge Cancer Center; CRUK Cambridge Institute; Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; and Heidelberg University Hospital, The Jackson Laboratory. Registration is free and limited to the first 1,000 participants. The target audience is health care providers who care for people with central nervous system tumors. All SNO webinars are recorded, so if you miss one, you will be able to view it on-demand on SNO’s Online Education Center.
The overall learning goal is to increase awareness about the challenges of clinical care and research in CNS tumors and possible solutions.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- List challenges in creating preclinical models for CNS tumors that reliably recapitulate human disease.
- List novel techniques in CNS tumor classification and their prognostic and/or therapeutic implications.
- Identify challenges in clinical trial design and describe innovative methods applicable to patients with rare CNS tumors.
- List ongoing initiatives to improve care and enhance research for patients with rare CNS tumors.
