Neuro-oncology
is a very complex field, where multi-disciplinarily is the leading word and it
represents the only way to effectively tackle important and still unmet medical
needs, such as treatment of brain tumors and management of treatment-related
side effects. Innovative treatments, advances in neuro-imaging, improvement in
the knowledge of cancer biology, palliative care and preclinical models will be
among the main topics of the congress.
The
field of research is focused on the side effect of chemotherapy on the
peripheral nervous system, a small aspect of neuro-oncology. However, as a
neurologist I am well aware of the relevance of the problems more broadly
related to the diagnosis and care of brain tumor patients, and of the need of
an intensive collaboration with neurosurgeons, radiotherapist, oncologist as
well as other healthcare providers in order to optimize our efforts and to maximize
their results, is said by Bruno Giometto, Vice President Italian Society of
Neurology.”
