MSKCC Foundations in Neuro-Oncology: A Guide for Clinical Practice 2026 — CNS tumours from scan to supportive care
MSKCC Foundations in Neuro-Oncology: A Guide for Clinical Practice 2026 comes from Memorial Sloan Kettering’s one-day virtual course of 11 June 2026, supplied as the course videos plus the brochure PDF. Fifteen talks and four discussion panels take the multidisciplinary team through gliomas, meningiomas, CNS lymphoma, metastatic and leptomeningeal disease, radiation choices, neuroradiology, oncologic emergencies and the human side of care for patients and families.

What you’ll be able to do
- Distinguish the work-up and treatment of gliomas, meningiomas and CNS lymphoma
- Interpret CSF and imaging findings in brain and leptomeningeal metastases
- Discuss proton versus photon radiation with patients and colleagues
- Act quickly on raised ICP, cord compression, seizures and immunotherapy neurotoxicity
- Handle symptom burden and difficult conversations with compassion
Inside the course
Primary and metastatic CNS tumours
Glioma diagnosis and treatment, the WHO grading of meningiomas, lymphoma chemotherapy pathways, then brain and leptomeningeal metastases and modern radiation, each block closing with a panel.
MSKCC neuro-oncology imaging
Three neuroradiologists show how to read the brain, when the spinal cord is threatened by tumour, and which study to order in which situation.
Emergencies that cannot wait
Advanced practice clinicians and physicians walk through intracranial pressure, cord compression, immune-related neurotoxicity and seizure management.
Supportive and psychosocial care
The day ends on young adults whose lives are interrupted by cancer, complex symptom control and guidance for hard conversations.
Built for
- Oncologists and neurologistsA practical update on CNS malignancy management.
- Nurse practitioners, PAs and oncology nursesMuch of the faculty shares their day-to-day role.
- Clinical pharmacists and supportive care teamsUseful for emergencies, neurotoxicity and symptom control.
