| Abstract | James T. Rutka, MD, PhD An outstanding Tumor Section program is planned for Wednesday, April 10, 2002, at the AANS Annual Meeting in Chicago, 2:45-5:30 p.m. The program has been organized by Bill Broaddus, MD, and includes an hour-long session on the topic of brain tumor invasion. Following this, we will recognize our many award winners for best abstracts submitted to the Tumor Section. These include the Preuss Resident Research Award, the Mahaley Award sponsored by the National Brain Tumor Foundation, the American Brain Tumor Association Young Clinical Investigator Award, and an award for the best Translational Research Grant from the National Brain Tumor Foundation. An open paper session will then follow. Following the Tumor Section program on Wednesday, April 10, we will have a welcome reception for new and prospective members of the Tumor Section from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Mayfair Room of the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. All Tumor Section members are invited. A mandate of the Tumor Section has been to provide educational symposia to the membership. Accordingly, every two years we organize a Tumor Satellite Symposium which takes place at the conclusion of one of the annual meetings in neurosurgery in North America. It is with great pleasure that we announce this year’s Brain Tumor Satellite Symposium to take place at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers April 11-12, 2002. An outstanding program has been organized by Nalin Gupta, MD, PhD. Topics of interest include gene therapy, low grade gliomas, and skull base tumors. The keynote lecturer will be Arturo AlvarezBuylla, MD, who will speak on neural stem cells. Details of the Brain Tumor Satellite Symposium can be found within the pages of this newsletter. Members of the Tumor Section receive a registration discount to attend the symposium. Another educational activity sponsored by the Tumor Section at the AANS Annual Meeting in Chicago includes an immunotherapy workshop organized by Roberta Glick, MD, which will take place Sunday, April 7, 12-6 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers (Sheraton Ballroom I). In addition, Jeffery Bruce, MD, has once again organized a highly informative course on the subject of principles of neuro-oncology for the general neurosurgical practitioner (details inside). This Practical Clinic will be held on Sunday, April 7, 2002. Several executive members of the Tumor Section will be participating in this course. Joseph Piepmeier, MD, editor of the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, has described an outstanding benefit for members of the Tumor Section by offering a significant discount toward a subscription to the journal. Details of this offer can be found within the pages of this newsletter. This is yet another tangible example of how the Tumor Section continues to work for its membership, and we thank Dr. Piepmeier for facilitating this special offer. We look forward to seeing all of you at the AANS Annual Meeting in Chicago April 6-11, 2002. |
