6th March, 2026, 16:00 - 17:00
Pacific C

This expert panel will explore decision making and treatment planning for atypical, aggressive and non-curable tumors of the temporal bone and petrous apex region. Comprised of real world cases with few easy answers and challenging post-treatment scenarios, the panelists and audience will navigate the down-stream consequences of early treatment decisions. The panel, comprised of expert Neurotologists and Neurosurgeons, will explore the concepts and strategies needed to achieve the best possible outcomes in `no-win` tumor scenarios.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Predict how initial treatment plans for Temporal Bone/Petrous tumors could give rise to future challenging patient care scenarios.
• Construct both initial and downstream treatment plans for various Temporal Bone/Petrous tumors.
• Organize a multi-disciplinary care team for both near- and long-term management of Temporal Bone/Petrous tumors.
