Spine Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: What is it? What are the outcomes? What are the issues, controversies?
Spine Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Spinal cord Tolerance: Contrasting human and animal data
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Malignant Epidural Spinal Cord Compression
Perspective I: How does surgery integrate with radiosurgery for primary and spinal cancers?
Perspective II: How does surgery integrate with radiosurgery for primary and spinal cancers?
Skull Base Radiosurgery: Current Knowledge and Unanswered Questions
Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases Based on the Currently Available Evidence
Radiosurgery for Gliomas
Radiosurgery for the postoperative resection cavity

Description: There are known challenges to performing clinical trials in Neuro-Oncology. Surgically based neuro-oncology clinical trials address issues of more extensive tumor resections, evaluation of targeted therapies, improved drug delivery, immunotherapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy and brachytherapy. These studies have unique aspects in terms of trial design, conduct and evaluation. To highlight the challenges of neuro-oncology trials with an emphasis on surgically based studies, a 3 hour educational workshop is planned for young investigators that will focus on topics pertinent to clinical trials. Members of the tumor section and SNO who have served as a Principal Investigator of clinical trials, will review trial endpoints, response assessments, evaluation of treatment toxicities as well as statistical considerations. Regulatory requirements for applications to the Federal Drug Administration and Institutional Review Boards will also be reviewed.
