The 4th Brain Tumor
Awareness Day In Argentina
The fourth annual “Brain Tumour Awareness Day,” took
place on October 27th, 2015 in the
building of the Argentine Medical Association AMA (Buenos Aires). The Argentine
Association of Neurosurgery AANC; the Section of Neurooncology of the
LatinAmerican Federation of Neurosurgical Societies FLANC; and SNOLA gave also their
academic support to the meeting.
During 2015, we conducted The Argentine Survey about
“The accessibility to diagnostic methods and treatment of brain tumors in
Argentina”; and this was the first observatory on brain tumors performed in our region to make a situation
diagnosis. The results and the analysis were reported at the 4th
Brain Tumor Awareness Day. People from different disciplines such as
neurosurgery, neurooncology, pathologist, radiation therapies, palliative care
and psychooncologists, and professionals of the health public areas have
attended to the meeting. We expect that would
be the initial step to give academic support for quality management improvement.
The Study will be published soon in the “Revista
Argentina de Cancerología”; also in the “Revista Argentina de Neurocirugía” and
will be post in the website of the Society. (www. socargcancer.org.ar) . Through these efforts, we hope to continue foster education
with the ultimate goal to provide an equitable neurosurgery practice for the
people of Argentina.
