Chief, Dr. Mark Gilbert and Senior Investigator, Dr. Terri Armstrong, of the NCI Center for Cancer Research, Neuro-Oncology Branch, were joined by moderator and Chief Executive Officer, David Arons of the National Brain Tumor Society for a discussion on adult brain and spine tumor research and treatment. The conversation focused on primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors, meaning the tumor begins in the brain or spinal cord. Together they discussed how brain and spine tumors are diagnosed and treated, available clinical trials and the latest research, how tumors impact patient quality of life, and the NCI-CONNECT Rare CNS Tumor Project.
