Survivorship Care in Neuro-Oncology

People living with brain and spinal cord tumors and their care partners face unique challenges. To increase awareness about these challenges and better understand their experiences as cancer survivors, neuro-oncology health care providers, researchers, patient advocates, patients and care partners met virtually on June 20 to 21, 2021, at the NCI-CONNECT Survivorship Care in Neuro-Oncology Symposium. 

We are excited to share from the workshop a proceedings paper was published in Neuro-Oncology Advances and advocacy and professional organizations have endorsed the manuscript.
