International Symposium on Long-Term Control of Secondary Central Nervous System Malignancies
June 10-11, 2010
Ritz-Carlton Hotel
Cleveland, OH
Description
Better control of systemic disease and more aggressive treatments have led to enhanced survival in patients with CNS metastasis. Little focus, however, has been placed on the long-term control of CNS metastasis and the impact of such control on the patient. This symposium will examine interventions, controversies, and late effects associated with long-term control of central nervous system metastasis.
Target Audience
Neurosurgeons, Radiation Oncologists, Medical Oncologists, Neurologists, and allied healthcare professionals who work with patients with tumors.
Objectives
As a result of attending this symposium, the participant will be able to do the following:
- Delineate the risk factors for CNS metastasis.
- Identify those patients with brain metastasis who have the best chance for long-term survival.
- Discuss the roles of surgery, radiation therapy and systemic therapy in the long-term control of CNS metastasis.
- Discuss the long-term neurocognitive toxicities of treatment of brain metastasis.
