Target Audience
Specialties - Neurological Surgery
Professions - Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, Physician Assistant, Researcher

Overview

The Keyhole Approaches to Brain Tumors course is targeted towards healthcare providers who manage and treat patients with brain tumors. Leading experts will come together to discuss the future of brain tumor management including the progress in the understanding of the human connectome and the utilization of minimally invasive techniques to remove brain tumors. The design is to focus on the future of brain tumor therapy with the goal of improving treatment response rates, outcomes, and overall patient care.

Objectives
  1. Discuss the distorted anatomy of the brain from brain tumors in light of the understating of brain connectomics
  2. Address the risks and benefits of surgery, and the indications for surgery in the form of keyhole and minimally invasive techniques for brain tumors
  3. Identify the relevant anatomy of the skull base from endonasal and keyhole perspectives
