Neuroendocrinology Virtual Conference

Friday, November 13, 2020, 8:00 AM - 5:10 PM, Virtual Conference

This one-day program is targeted to endocrinologists, neuro-oncologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-ophthalmologists, fellows, residents and nurse practitioners who evaluate or treat children with hypothalamic/pituitary disorders. This program will highlight advances in diagnostics and therapy for children with pituitary tumors(prolactinoma), diabetes insipidus, germ cell tumors, genetic syndromes affecting tumor susceptibility and other related conditions. We will hear from a neuro-radiologist regarding the role of MRI in evaluation of patients with suspected disorders of the hypothalamus and pituitary, and a neuro-ophthalmologist about the importance of visual outcomes. We will also learn about novel developments in neurosurgical care of affected patients. Finally, we will offer practical guidance regarding commonly encountered management challenges, including selecting from new long-acting growth hormone formulations and how to counsel around future fertility.
