It's been more than 20 years since there's been a major breakthrough in glioblastoma treatment. But Hollings' Ben Strickland, M.D. just received a new grant from the American Cancer Society that will fund research targeting this aggressive brain cancer: https://t.co/XHOrBk0zLx

Excited to share that I’ve matched into neurosurgery and will be joining the incredible resident team and department at Medical University of South Carolina!

Looking forward to finishing out fourth year strong and moving to Charleston to begin this next chapter! 🌴

We all know that ⏰ is 🧠. Do different time intervals have different impacts on outcomes? This large retrospective study demonstrates that procedure duration predicts outcomes more than prehospital delay for EVTs! This emphasizes the importance of skilled interventionalists performing thrombectomies! @musc_star @alex_spiotta @AliAlawiehmdphd https://t.co/dJF1VY73pD

@MeganDMalueg Congratulations and good luck to you as well!

New publication‼️Next-gen tumor-treating fields—both invasive & non-invasive—could change the game for brain tumor therapy 🚀

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

Eckert et al. review the potential of non-invasive neurostimulation techniques in oncology. From TTFields to tDCS and TMS, these tools may reshape cancer treatment by targeting tumors without drugs or radiation.

August is #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth!

Behind every life-changing procedure is a team: surgeons, residents, students, researchers, clinical staff and patients, united by one purpose. This year’s theme, We Are Neurosurgery: Every Patient. One Purpose., reminds us that every role matters, every story counts and every action shapes a stronger future.

AANS is proud to lift and support the entire neurosurgical community, those delivering care, advancing science and inspiring the next generation.

Follow along all month as we highlight the many facets of neurosurgery that make this specialty so powerful, compassionate and essential.
