DESCRIPTION
Neuro/Oncology is a fundamental topic that spans multiple medical and surgical disciplines including medical oncology, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, cancer biology, physics, and chemotherapeutics.

This course is intended primarily for medical oncologists, neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, physician midlevels (ARNP-PA), and nurses. The course will be internally advertised via email to Mayo multidisciplinary staff.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss new surgical techniques and adjuvant therapy for management of intracranial neoplasms
- Discuss new techniques in tumor stereotaxis, both frame based and frameless for management of neoplasia and infectious processes
- Discuss new techniques in management of closed head injury
