ABOUT THE COURSE

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to invite you, both participants and faculties, for the third EANS – SFNC Masterclass and Hands-On Course focused on Pituitary Tumors. The course will take place in the modern facilities either of the University Campus and the Neurological Hospital of Lyon, France.

This course is intended for younger neurosurgeons, dealing with the basic and fundamental principles  of  operative  procedures  (endoscopes, microscopes  etc),  and  endocrine  management  of  such tumors.

Our goal is to teach the modern management of Pituitary Adenomas or Craniopharyngiomas which represent an over-speciality in Neurosurgery, nowadays.

Theoretical background will be provided in separate lectures by our distinguished faculty, prestigious European pituitary surgeons.

Lyon is a pleasant city to live in and to visit. It has a rich history, numerous museums and a well-known history of culinary school.

I am sure that you will have enough opportunities during the course to feel the Lyon hospitality.

I am looking forward to meeting you all in Lyon!
