This workshop brought together international experts to discuss current research and key issues in neuro-oncology, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing brain tumor patients. Summary: The proceedings include abstracts from various presentations, highlighting topics such as the management of vestibular schwannomas, the expanded endoscopic endonasal approach for anterior skull base meningiomas, and the challenges in designing treatment strategies for meningiomas. Each presentation underscores the complexity of neuro-oncology and the need for tailored approaches to patient care. Conclusion: The workshop's findings indicate that advancements in neuro-oncology require ongoing research and collaboration among specialists. It is crucial to refine treatment strategies and improve quality of life for patients, particularly by addressing less tangible factors impacting their health outcomes.
