SNO-ing: Gathering at the 4th Quadrennial Meeting of the World Federation of Neuro-Oncology
|
|
This year's 4th Quadrennial Meeting of the World Federation of Neuro-Oncology, hosted in conjunction with the Society for Neuro-Oncology’s (SNO) Scientific Meeting and Education Day (Nov. 21 - 24) in San Francisco, just concluded and the National Brain Tumor Society contingent has returned from an intense and exciting week of meetings with a wealth of new knowledge and connections.
The Annual SNO Meeting has significantly grown in size and importance. Through the convening of attendees from across the country and around the world, it allows us to not only hear the latest in brain tumor science, but to also have many productive meetings and individual discussions with advisors, biopharma industry representatives, and other patient advocacy groups to help to advance our programmatic agenda and mission efficiently and effectively. We are proud to support the work of this critical organization.
