    Latin American Neuro-Oncology Network (RedLANO)
     
    RedLANO is a web-based platform that represents the first regional effort to bring together Latin American neuro-oncologists. The RedLANO is designed as a forum for all medical and scientific disciplines involved in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the nervous system as well as the management of neurologic complications related to the administration of cancer treatment. The mission is to stimulate interaction and collaboration between those with an interest in neuro-oncology and provides educational activities through events such as biennial congresses and also via an interactive website.

    SNO International Outreach Mission

    The Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) understands that brain tumors do not recognize geographical boundaries. SNO seeks to promote clinical and research activities in both pediatric and adult neuro-oncology in developing regions of the world.
