Multimodal Treatment for Spinal Tumors will explore the latest therapeutic techniques for treating patients diagnosed with spinal tumors. Diagnostic and therapeutic options for managing spinal tumors have advanced significantly in the past decade. These breakthroughs have enabled providers to help care for these patients with the goal to maximize their life expectancy as well as preserve neurologic function.

Today, health-care providers who treat patients with spinal tumors are able to offer a myriad of treatment options that were essentially non-existent in the recent past. Internationally renowned speaker, inventor, entrepreneur and neurosurgeon, John R. Adler, M.D., will present the keynote presentation at this year’s symposium and initiate our discussion of the technical and therapeutic options available for spinal tumor patients.

National leaders in the field of neuroscience, neuroradiology, interventional radiology, medical oncology and radiation therapy will join colleagues from Stanford, Swedish and the Pacific Northwest to explore the latest advancements in the treatment of spinal tumors. Participants will also hear firsthand from a patient who has experienced the breadth of spinal tumor treatments available today.
