Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Brain Cancer Tumour Group and the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) we are pleased to announce the first in the biennial series of EORTC-EANO Conferences: Trends in Central Nervous System Tumours, which build on the success of past Neuro-Oncology meetings chaired by Martin van den Bent and Al Yung. The main focus of the joint EORTC-EANO Conferences is to progress the neuro-oncology field, accelerate the translation of cutting edge discovery at the clinical level, and further promote international scientific cooperation, debate and exchange. Adopting a highly multidisciplinary approach, each EORTC-EANO Conference will aim to draw an attendance of neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropathologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists sharing the common goal of advancing the management, treatment and care of patients with central nervous system tumours, including CNS lymphoma, meningioma, gliomas, brain and spine metastatic disease, and primary spinal cord tumours. Through a series of plenary sessions, workshops and breakout sessions, Trends in Central Nervous System Tumours will provide a rigorous review of novel therapies, agents and combination strategies, as well as report on the very latest findings in basic and clinical research. Lastly, but by no means least, our host city Budapest - widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe – will provide yet further reason for joining us for this very first EORTC-EANO Conference. We look forward to welcoming you all to a must-have conversation: Trends in Central Nervous System Tumours, 27-28 March 2009. Martin J. van den Bent (EORTC) Robin Grant (EANO) | |
