Chairperson: Riccardo Soffietti, Torino, Italy The aim of the TC is to give an update on a wide spectrum of neuro-oncologic topics in whom clinical neurologists are frequently involved. R. Soffietti will discuss the usefulness of advanced MRI (MRS, perfusion, DTI) and PET with amino-acids techniques for differential diagnosis and treatment monitoring of gliomas after conventional and anti-angiogenic agents. U. Schlegel will discuss two major issues in the management of PCNSL: how to improve the outcome with more aggressive and specific therapies? How to better spare the normal brain from the damage from therapies? W. Grisold will update on the modern approach to brain, leptomeningeal and spinal metastases. J. Honnorat will illustrate the large number of infectious, metabolic, paraneoplastic and treatment-related complications of systemic cancer. |
