International Conference on Neurooncology and Neurosurgery

The two biggest and most complex challenges in biology come together under the umbrella of neuro-oncology. The first are the puzzles surrounding the development, structure and function of the human brain. The second is the process behind formation, development and growth of tumors that cause the most complex and poorly understood disease we term cancer. There is a type of virus called reovirus which crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach tumours, where it is replicate and kill the cancer cells. The virus was able to boost up the body’s own immune system to attack the cancer. Reovirus therapy could be used in conjunction with other cancer therapies to make them more potent. Our immune systems aren’t very good to detect cancers cells because they are very similar to our body’s own cells, and partly because cancers are good at telling immune cells to turn a blind eye. But the immune system is very good at seeing viruses. When the brain tumours infected with reovirus became much...

We feel very honored to have been offered the responsibility to organize this great 3rd International Conference on ‘’Neuro-Oncology and Neurosurgery conference,” will be held during September 20-21, 2018 Dubai, UAE.   The theme of this conference is ‘’Elucidate the mystery challenges of neuro-oncology and neurosurgery’’, which covers wide range of critically important sessions.   This conference bring all the Neuro-oncologists, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists and Neuroscientists together to share their experiences on the same platform. Neuro-Oncology is the multi-disciplinary specialty focused on the state-of-the-art treatment and advanced developmental research in brain and spinal cord neoplasm and many of which are very hazardous and life-threatening (glioma, pontine glioma, astrocytoma, ependymoma, glioblastoma multiforme and brain stem tumours). Among the carcinogenic brain cancers, astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme, gliomas of the brainstem and pons are worst. Ca...
