This paper explores the underutilized educational potential of tumor boards as a platform for medical student education. Acknowledging the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of tumor boards, we propose 12 strategic interventions aimed at integrating undergraduate medical students into these meetings to enhance their learning experience. These strategies emphasize active student engagement, critical analysis, patient interaction, reflective practice, and the integration of digital learning tools, with a focus on fostering an in-depth understanding of team-based, patient-focused oncology care.

Surgical intervention becomes necessary in case of bone destruction to remove infected tissue and restore spinal stability, often involving the implantation of a cage. Despite appropriate treatment, relapses occur in up to 20 percent of cases, resulting in substantial economic and social burdens.

Parents often fear later cosmetic stigmatization, but also a reduced quality of life (QoL) during treatment. The aim of this study was to examine therapy results in our patient collection from a new perspective.

- Recent research indicates that removing dead tissue (necrotic tissue) during surgery for ischemic cerebellar stroke may improve recovery more than just removing pressure (decompressive surgery) alone, but optimal procedures and outcomes related to the amount of tissue removed haven't been well-studied.* -
- This study analyzed data from 91 patients who had surgery for ischemic cerebellar stroke, measuring the volume of infarcted tissue before and after operations, and evaluating functionality at 3 months post-surgery using a standardized ranking scale.* -
- Results showed that patients who had necrosectomy (removal of necrotic tissue) were significantly more likely to achieve favorable recovery outcomes, with a specific threshold of
Introduction: Technical advances and the increasing role of interdisciplinary decision-making may warrant formal definitions of expertise in surgical neuro-oncology.
Research Question: The EANS Neuro-oncology Section felt that a survey detailing the European neurosurgical perspective on the concept of expertise in surgical neuro-oncology might be helpful.
Material And Methods: The EANS Neuro-oncology Section panel developed an online survey asking questions regarding criteria for expertise in neuro-oncological surgery and sent it to all individual EANS members.
