GENETIC PREDISPOSITIONS IN BRAIN TUMORS
It is with great pleasure that I announce the second video conference of 2026, where we will discuss Genetic Predispositions in Brain Tumors. This is certainly a topic of great interest for patients, caregivers, and even specialists in the field.
The video conference will feature Dr. Enrico Opocher, a pediatric oncologist specializing in neuro-oncology, with a focus on childhood brain tumors. Dr. Opocher treats central nervous system (CNS) tumors such as low-grade gliomas (LGG), high-grade gliomas (HGG), and retinoblastoma. He has experience treating infants under one year of age and has worked at the Pediatric Oncohematology Unit of the Padua Hospital since 2011, with previous experience in London on CNS and solid tumors.
The video conference will take place on Thursday, March 19th at 6:00 PM. The event will follow the usual format: it will open with a brief presentation of the volunteer organization Glioblastoma.IT ODV and its activities, followed by a presentation by the speaker moderated by Dr. Giuseppe Lombardi, who, as you know, directs the Neuro-Oncology Unit at the Veneto Oncology Institute (IOV) in Padua. The event will conclude, as usual, with a Q&A session open to all participants.
