Abstract

The European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) is the largest neuro-oncology meeting in Europe. It meets biannually and reproducibly provides an exciting forum to present new brain cancer clinical trials and research data. The EANO 2012 meeting comprised 3 days of presentations; nearly 80 oral presentations and over 350 abstracts, providing a contemporary overview of neuro-oncology that includes both metastatic diseases of the CNS as well as primary brain tumors. This article attempts to highlight select abstracts presented at this year's meeting in a short review that provides a portrait of a large and multifaceted meeting.
