The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center and the University of Washington Medical
Center provide a joint experience in neuro-oncology.
There is a full-time Neuro-Oncology fellow who
can assist in arranging a comprehensive experience.
Outpatient clinics occur several days per week,
and inpatient consultations can be seen with the
attending, Dr. Alex Spence. Weekly neuropathology
and brain-cutting conferences should be attended
to maximize the learning experience. Once per
week, the Neuro-Oncology team attends Tumor Board
at the University of Washington Medical Center
to discuss complicated or multi-disciplinary cases.
