The second tumor satellite symposium of the Joint Section on Tumors is scheduled to take place in conjunction with the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) meeting in Montréal, Canada, on October 3rd and 4th, 1996. The conference chairmen are Bill Chandler, MD, and Peter Black,MD, and the Scientific Program Chairman is Raymond Sawaya, MD.
Four general topics will be covered. These include: epidemiology, radiobiology, cell cycle control, and molecular therapy. In addition, there will be three open scientific sessions, during which competitively selected abstracts will be presented.
The design of this symposium was developed with input from Mitch Berger, MD, who successfully managed the first tumor symposium. Strong participation by the neurosurgical community was evident in the first symposium and resulted in the exposure of advanced research in brain tumors. A similar experience is anticipated this time, and in addition, extra efforts are being made to encourage the participation of all related disciplines.
