Satellite Tumor Symposium 2023
Chair: Gelareh Zadeh, MD

We are excited to invite you to Washington, DC, September 8-9, for the 16th Biennial Tumor Section Symposium, which immediately precedes the 2023 CNS Annual Meeting. Our theme this year is Brain and Spine Recurrent Tumors: The Neurosurgeon’s Role. This two-day event will offer four engaging scientific sessions led by global experts in the field, four original science sessions and a Friday night Gala Reception, Dinner and Awards.
Recognizing the increasing role of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in the care of neurosurgical oncology patients, we inaugurate a special session each day focused on APPs. We hope to welcome your APPs during these sessions and have them partake in the entire meeting with us.
Join us as we explore novel treatments and controversies on recurrent low-grade gliomas, glioblastoma, meningiomas and brain and spine metastatic disease. We look forward to your participation during the case discussion panels. The meeting also explores immune- and viral-based therapies for CNS recurrent tumors, and how molecular profiling and non-invasive biomarkers detection can be leveraged to improve patient care at the time of tumor recurrence.
We are also thrilled to present our world-renowned 2023 Keynote Speakers: David Louis and Evanthia Galanis, who will review the implications of the new WHO classification at the time of recurrence and trial opportunities leading to breakthrough novel treatments for our patients. The Friday evening Gala takes place at the luxurious Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel. It is the perfect setting to mingle with colleagues, patients, advocate group representatives and friends.
The Tumor Section’s Career Awards for distinguished service (The Mark Rosenblum Distinguished Service Award), career accomplishments (The Charles B. Wilson Award) and mentoring (The Andrew T. Parsa Mentorship Award) will be presented, along with certificates for best oral presentations from each of the four sessions during the two days. The symposium takes place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the heart of downtown Washington, DC, Take time to explore the Washington auto show, DC History Center, National Portrait Gallery, City Brew Tours, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and so much more.
