LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Describe the imaging characteristics of gliomas and other brain tumors. 2) Recognize the substantial heterogeneity that exists within these tumor types and understand the prognostic and predictive variables that allow for the appropriate selection of therapeutic choices. 3) Explain the role of each modality including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in managing these tumors.

ABSTRACT

Significant progress has been made in the treatment of CNS tumors with an emphasis on molecular prognostic and predictive biomarkers that allow for the selection of appropriate patient specific treatment. In this case-based panel discussion, each discussant will present a challenging CNS case, highlighting the need for a multi-disciplinary treatment approach. The role of neuro-imaging to help clinicians improve the diagnosis, treatment and response assessment for CNS tumors will be emphasized. Statement References: 1.
