Overview

Neuro-oncology is a uniquely specialized field requiring providers to have advanced knowledge and understanding to optimize patient care. The lectures on day one will provide a foundation for Advanced Practice Providers, and other healthcare professionals, who wish to broaden their knowledge of neuro-oncology and understand the complex management of patients living with cancers of the central nervous system. Topics on this day will include an introduction to neuroanatomy, management of primary and metastatic brain tumors, leptomeningeal disease, central nervous system lymphoma, and the rapid assessment and interventions of neuro-oncologic emergencies. Best practices in supportive care and communication techniques the Advanced Practice Provider can utilize during difficult discussions with the neuro-oncology patient and their caregivers will also be presented.

Day two offers the opportunity to select one specialty track to refine your learning experience:

  • Track 1 "Advanced Concepts in Adult Neuro-Oncology" will explore the recent advances in diagnosing and treating this complex patient population.
  • Track 2 "Care of the Pediatric Neuro-oncology Population" will explore the implications of central nervous system cancers in the pediatric population. Nuances in treatment and prognosis for our youngest patients will be presented.
