Collaboration, Systems Change, and Progress Highlight 2014 Summit
|
Every year, the National Brain Tumor Society Summit brings together neuro-oncologists, medical academics, biotechnology and pharmaceutical executives, representatives from the National Institutes of Health, and other nonprofits, as well as brain tumor patients, survivors, caregivers, and advocates, to learn about research and public policy progress in the field, discuss innovative National Brain Tumor Society initiatives, and foster collaboration and increase engagement across all facets of the community. This year's Summit focused on the theme of creating systemic change in the way brain tumor treatments are discovered, developed, tested, and evaluated.
