Master Class in Neuro Surgical Oncology 2026

From White Matter Anatomy to Precision Tumor Resection

The Master Class in Neuro Surgical Oncology 2026 is an intensive two-day academic and hands-on educational program dedicated exclusively to the contemporary management of gliomas. Designed for practicing neurosurgeons, neuro-oncology fellows, residents, neuroradiologists, and allied specialists, this masterclass bridges cutting-edge scientific evidence with practical operative expertise.

The program combines focused lectures, immersive hands-on workshops, operative video demonstrations, multidisciplinary case discussions, and expert panel interactions to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of modern glioma surgery.

A major highlight of the course is the technology-driven surgical workshop, where participants will receive practical training in advanced operative adjuncts including:

CADAVERIC BRAIN DISSECTION – Master the anatomy of critical white-matter tracts
DTI & CONNECTOME – Understand functional pathways and surgical planning
NEURONAVIGATION – Translate imaging into precise surgical trajectories
NEUROMONITORING – Protect eloquent cortical & subcortical pathways
INTRA-OPERATIVE ULTRASOUND – Real-time tumour and cavity assessment
FLUORESCENCE-GUIDED SURGERY – Experience fluorescence-based tumour visualization
MICROSCOPE • EXOSCOPE • LOUPES – Explore different approaches to microsurgical visualization
SUBPIAL RESECTION – Hands-on demonstration of contemporary tumour resection techniques

ANATOMY → IMAGING → NAVIGATION → MONITORING → VISUALIZATION → RESECTION
Learn it. See it. Practice it.

Scientific Highlights

The scientific sessions will cover the complete spectrum of glioma management, including:
WHO 2021 molecular classification and its surgical implications
Contemporary management of low- and high-grade gliomas
Preoperative imaging, connectomes, and functional planning
Extent of resection and functional preservation
Management of insular, thalamic, corpus callosal, and eloquent-area gliomas
Recurrent glioma surgery
Multidisciplinary decision-making
Emerging technologies and future directions in neuro-oncology
Interactive Case-Based Learning
Real-world clinical scenarios will form the cornerstone of the masterclass. Faculty-led discussions will focus on challenging glioma cases, emphasizing decision-making, operative planning, complication avoidance, and evidence-based treatment strategies. Participants will engage in interactive polling, multidisciplinary tumor board discussions, and expert panel debates.
