Congratulations to L. Dade Lunsford on his selection as the 2021 Ronald L. Bittner Lecturer by the @NSTumorSection—one of the highest honors awarded by the section. The lecture is scheduled for the 2021 @CNS_Update Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas in Oct. https://t.co/2SBjC6yaad
Thanks @ISRSy for the invite. Will share innovations in #pituitary surgery leading to improved outcomes. Just 3 out of my 139 #pituitary patients in the last 2 years at #Stanford needed #SRS as adjuvant therapy. Is 2% use of #SRS standard of care for pituitary patients? Join us👇🏻
Congrats to Nduka Amankulor on being named a 2020 Hillman Clinician-Scientist Fellow for Innovative Cancer Research for his discovery of novel immune escape mechanisms in IDH mutant glioma and overall excellence as a leading brain tumor surgeon. @ndukaamankulor@UPMCHillmanCC
Congratulations to L. Dade Lunsford and the @UPMC@PittTweet Gamma Knife team as they celebrate their 33rd anniversary today of treating patients. Over 16,000 patients have undergone treatment since Dr. Lunsford brought the first Gamma Knife unit to the U.S. in 1987. @Elekta
A single-center study @UMneurosurgery led by @RicardoKomotar shows lobectomy for non-eloquent #glioblastoma to provide a increase in OS (30.7 vs. 14.1 months) and PFS (17.2 vs. 8.1 months) compared to GTR

3rd case to honor #btam. Butterfly-type intraventricular GBM resected with combo approach: endoscope/microscope through endoport tube and navigated u/s @Brainlab . The @PittNeurosurg way! GTR, but still need to #cureGBM. @pascalzinn @UPMCHillmanCC
3-year survival for #GBM is rising with access to trimodal therapy, including: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. @MayoClinic#NSGY https://t.co/fo3nDPBnmU
Stereotactic radiosurgery combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors may yield an improvement in overall survival for patients with brain metastases – further research is encouraged by these promising data #BTSM#nsgy https://t.co/refOPs8kXq
