Together to improve treatments and prognosis in brain tumors

The Center for Mind/Brain Sciences - CIMeC of the University of Trento and the Provincial Agency for Health Services - APSS, together with the Neurosurgery Unit, organize the event Together to improve treatments and prognosis in brain tumors.

The results of clinical research in the field of neuroscience, funded by private and public bodies in the territory of Trentino, will be presented during the conference, it will also be an opportunity to document the progress made in neuroscientific and neuro-clinical research oncology in the Province of Trento in recent years, thanks to the solid collaborations between the main stakeholders of our territory in the field of neuroscience, and thank to all those who supported these initiatives. The new perspectives and ongoing research in one of the most evolving fields of life sciences will be presented, in the hope of creating ever new and ever wider synergies for the future.
