A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain. Many different types of brain tumors exist. Some brain tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant). Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors). How quickly a brain tumor grows can vary greatly. The growth rate as well as location of a brain tumor determines how it will affect the function of your nervous system. Brain tumor treatment options depend on the type of brain tumor you have, as well as its size and location. The Innovations and Updates in the Management of Brain Tumors course will cover topics related to research, diagnosis, management and treatment approaches for brain tumors. Innovations and advances in the field will be presented, including lectures around precision medicine, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, imaging, pathology, and neurosurgery. The faculty for the course will include brain tumor specialists from the departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College as well as faculty from hematology-oncology, radiology, pathology, and radiation oncology. Attendees of the course will benefit from the comprehensive nature of this program and the presentation of the latest advances around brain tumor management. Course content will cover gliomas, pituitary tumors and skull base tumors.
