Event topic:
Have you ever wondered what factors matter to your doctors when they are diagnosing which type of brain tumour you have? Or what things they think are important when deciding which treatment option might be best for you? How do they decide whether a treatment is effective, or what to do if the tumour returns?
In this Q&A Webinar, Prof Mark Rosenthal (Medical Oncologist) poses a series of ‘what matters’ questions to a panel of brain tumour experts including Prof Lindy Jeffree (Neurosurgeon), Dr Joe Sia (Radiation Oncologist) and Dr Ross Jennens (Medical Oncologist), to shed light on ‘what matters’ to your doctors when trying to provide the best treatment options for your brain tumour.
Please note: these webinars are for education purposes only and should not be taken as individual medical advice. Consult with your healthcare team to find out what approach is best for you taking into account your individual circumstances.
