  Radiosurgical Options and its Results

• In 2020 we had at least 2 course projects:
• 1st) Radiosurgery Course in Madrid, jointly with EGKS.
• 2nd) Radiosurgery Course at NIMHANS, Bangalore, India
  Both projects have been suspended due to the current Covid 19 pandemic situation
  
  

  The courses that I was going to plan through the ZOOM platform have not been accepted as this system has been widely used this year.

  I plan to organize two courses this year using the Zoom platform:

  • New strategies for treating facial pain using radiosurgery
  • Long-term results of the treatment of schwannomas and meningiomas by radiosurgery
    The final decision depends on the interest that these courses arouse.
