Y-ECI LCG and Y-ECI ROSC Webinar – Session 2

The second session of the joint Y-ECI LCG and Y-ECI ROSC Webinar series, dedicated to the latest advancements and discussions on brain metastases treatment, will be held on 15 November 2023, from 18:30-19:00 CET.

The topic of the second webinar is “Technology and toxicity management in brain metastases“, presented by Dr Maximilian Niyazi and chaired by Dr Dora Correia. The webinar will start with a 5-minute introduction, followed by a 15-minute presentation and a 10-minute discussion/Q&A.

Key topics to be covered:
1. Technology in Managing Brain Metastases with Radiotherapy:
– Are there differences in clinical outcomes based on the technology used?
2. Managing Toxicity:
– What are the possible toxicities, and how can they be managed?
– When should we consider surgery, Bevacizumab, or steroids?
3. Repeat Radiosurgery and Re-Irradiation:
– What are the recommendations for administering repeat radiosurgery and re-irradiation?

About the speaker, Dr Maximilian Niyazi:
Dr. Niyazi’s primary focus in radio-oncological research is neuro-oncology. He has extensively engaged in integrating molecular imaging into radiation planning, translational projects related to biomarker signatures, and the modulation of radiation effects and radionecrosis/NTCP modeling. Another significant area of his expertise is the re-irradiation, where he has shown keen interest in dosimetric correlations and the dose-effect relationship in repeat cranial irradiation. A related field of his research is radiosurgery of brain metastases. His team has demonstrated that Linac-based irradiation of multiple brain metastases with a single isocenter is swift and effective, particularly comparable, if not superior, to whole-brain irradiation. Apart from his scientific endeavors, Dr. Niyazi actively participates in various committees to coordinate or develop guidelines and studies.
