On Thursday, Aug. 13th at Noon CT, Mayo Clinic will host an interactive webinar on Adult Brain Tumors: From Diagnosis to Recovery. In this live, interactive webinar, Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon Ian Parney, MD, PhD, and neurologist Alyx Porter, MD, will discuss the diagnosis, management, treatment and recovery associated with adult brain tumors. Topics will include management and treatment options, such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and clinical trials, as well as recovery and quality of life. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.

Thank you Jude! I´ve registered already! Too bad the time doesn´t suit me very well.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Jude, thank you for letting us know! Spreading the word...
ReplyDeleteBTW, Dr. Parney is a co-director of the SPORE at Mayo (Specialized Program of Research Excellence funded by NIH). He is one of the leads on oncolytic virotherapy with the Measles virus:

Was anyone able to participate? I was tied up until the last 15 minutes, so I'm hoping they'll make it available online soon. Guergana, thanks for the info. I'm off to read about it now.
ReplyDeleteI was able to attend. Very much worth watching, the presentation is available as a youtube video:

They covered a lot of ground including brain cancer clinical trials run at Mayo (17 of them). Talked about immunotherapy and virotherapy (and combination of both). There was a QA session, Drs. Parney and Porter answered many questions from the attendees. They will continue answering questions this week.
cheers,
