The 20th Annual Brain Tumor Update and 9th Annual Symposium on Brain and Spine Metastases

The 2nd annual joint USC/CCF symposium, Optimizing Multi-Modality Management of Brain and Spine Tumors in 2018 is an advanced multidisciplinary conference led by expert faculty from USC and the Cleveland Clinic, with additional guest faculty from major national academic institutions.

The meeting covers the latest treatment strategies for the most commonly occurring brain and spine tumors, including spinal metastases, brain metastatses, gliomas, and meningiomas (a special topic this year). Disciplines involved include Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Pathology, Medicine, and Radiology, among others. The meeting is similar to the one held in October 2017 in Las Vegas, which was a highly successful conference with solid attendance.

This two-day conference is in Santa Monica, California, a popular and family-friendly tourist destination, and of major interest to a variety of practitioners, including physicians, nurses, residents and fellows, and other physician extenders.
