About

Controversies in Neurosurgery, now in its 20th year, is an interactive conference on the controversial topics facing neurosurgeons today. It’s a chance to meet the experts and debate the issues, with plenty of time for discussion built into the program. Wednesday 13th of November with be a special session combined with ICOM, the International Consortium on Meningiomas, a highly successful collaborative to increase awareness and conduct high quality cutting-edge research on these understudied tumours. So come and experience a comprehensive and practical update on the topic. Thursday 14 and 15th November with host Controversies in Neurosurgery proper – with the usual mix of updates on the controversies faced by the modern neurosurgeon. Come and join the discussion and network with your colleagues at a conference with a difference.

The International Consortium on Meningiomas (ICOM) – Tuesday, May 21, 2024

Posted on by Takyee Tung
ICOM – Tues May 21The International Consortium on Meningiomas (ICOM) is hosting a scientific day on Tuesday, May 21 as part of University of Toronto Division of Neurosurgery 100 Years and CNSF 2024 Congress. Led by Dr. Gelareh Zadeh, this consortium was formed to increase awareness for this understudied disease and conduct cutting-edge meningioma research through international and multidisciplinary collaboration. This meeting’s program will feature updates on ongoing collaborative research as well as a practical overview of modern meningioma management, with themes including surgical management, biomarkers, clinical trials updates and more. We will also host a molecular tumour board where complex cases are reviewed by an expert multidisciplinary panel with opportunity for audience involvement. These sessions will be highly relevant to anyone involved in meningioma research or clinical care and all are welcome to attend. Register for course HERE Submit an Abstract HERE
