FRIDAY, MAY 13 2016 7:30 AM 4:30 PM OVERVIEW The purpose of this activity is to provide new treatment options in neuro-oncology, including surgical techniques and intraoperative imaging that have improved patient outcomes. Sessions will feature the latest advances in state-ofthe-art care for practicing physicians treating patients with brain tumors. Cutting-edge topics in precision medicine, including genetic, translational, and clinical research will also be featured. Each section will conclude with an audience interactive panel discussion with question and answer session. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This symposium is designed for neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, radiologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, neuropsychologists, primary care physicians, oncology nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with brain tumors.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the completion of this course, participants should be able to: Describe emerging concepts in the diagnosis and management of patients with brain tumors Explain the risks and benefits of proton beam therapy and stereotactic radiation therapy for brain tumors Describe advances in the clinical application of cancer gene panel sequencing Explain developments from the first human CAR-T cell trial for glioblastoma targeting EGFRviii Review results of the Phase 3 Trial for Tumor Treating Fields for Glioblastoma Discuss the emerging field of connectomics and its impact on neuro-oncology Identify novel biomarkers including circulating glioma cells and advanced neuroimaging Describe advances in neurosurgery of brain tumors including the use of fluorescence, laser thermocoagulation, awake craniotomies, and fiber tractography Review updates in new clinical trials from the NCI-sponsored ABTC consortium Discuss the role of anti-angiogenic therapy and new concepts REGISTRATION Non- Penn Physicians...$100.00 Non- Penn residents, fellows, nurses, and other healthcare professionals...$50.00 Faculty, staff, residents, fellows and/or students of the University of Pennsylvania...$50.00 Registration fee includes admission to the course, breakfast, lunch and course syllabus.
