Proud to kick off national neurosurgery rookie camp in Toronto, hosted by @UofTNeuroSurge at the incredible @TemertySimCtr facility. Outstanding faculty from across the country, teaching the best and brightest of next generation neurosurgeons. @UofT @JamesRutka @UofTSurgery
Our PGY1s, Bianka, Eddie, Sabra and Seika, just finished their crash course in neurosurgery! They are phenomenal and we are excited to see their journey in neurosurgery unfold.
great paper.. time for a molecular-based radiation approach to meningioma? I believe that and we have strategies to overcome potential resistance: SRS, SRT, Hypofractionated SRT, adjuvant RT, dose escalation, protons, reirradiation, PET-guided target delineation @SapienzaRoma
