Dear Colleague,

We are excited to invite you to Houston, Texas, October 5–6, for the 14th Biennial Tumor Section
Satellite Symposium, which immediately precedes the 2018 CNS Annual Meeting. Our meeting
theme this year is CNS Tumors: Innovative Technology that Advances Patient Care.
    Join us at this two-day event for engaging scientific sessions that explore technological advances
in CNS tumor care and how these innovations are impacting the care of tumor patients in the
operating room and beyond. Stay on top of immune-based therapies for CNS tumors, and discover
how big data and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to improve patient care.
    Breakout Sessions for residents, fellows, and young attendings address topics such as starting a lab, clinical trials for
beginners, and what to do after residency. Be sure to catch the best original science with four select oral abstract presentations
and discussions. We’re also pleased to offer industry-sponsored breakfast and lunch symposiums that will provide more
opportunities for learning.
    We are thrilled to welcome our 2018 Keynote Speaker, NASA Astronaut G. Reid Wiseman, who spent nearly six months on
the International Space Station in 2014.
    The 31st Anniversary Gala takes place on Friday evening at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Houston, and is the perfect
setting to mingle with colleagues and friends. The Tumor Section’s Career Awards will be presented for: distinguished service
(The Mark Rosenblum Distinguished Service Award), career accomplishments (The Charles B. Wilson Award), and mentoring
(The Andrew T. Parsa Mentorship Award), along with certificates for best oral and poster presentations from the open abstract
sessions during the day.
    On Saturday afternoon, the program will transition into the Sawaya Symposium honoring the career of Raymond Sawaya, MD,
who chaired the neurosurgery department at MD Anderson since its establishment in 1990 through this year. The Biennial
Tumor Section Satellite Symposium takes place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in the heart of downtown Houston, Texas. Take
time to explore Discovery Green Park, the city’s largest green space, right outside the doors of the hotel. You’ll also want to visit
the nearby Museum District and get the best view in Houston from the JP Morgan Chase Tower Observation Deck.
    We encourage you to stay for the 2018 CNS Annual Meeting, October 6–10, for more education and networking with colleagues.
When you register for both meetings together, you will receive an automatic $100 off your CNS Annual Meeting registration.

We can’t wait to see you in Houston!

Sincerely,

               SECTION CHAIR                              MEETING CHAIR                                  MEETING CHAIR
