Complimentary Continuing Education Lectures for Healthcare Professionals

VOORHEES, N.J., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Adult glioblastoma is a challenging
diagnosis which carries a poor prognosis and appears to be associated with
genetic alterations of several critical signaling and tumor suppressor
pathways. While current treatment options are not curative, there is hope for
improving outcomes for patients. In order to do this, healthcare professionals
must have an understanding of glioblastoma chromosomal risk factors, new
radiation therapy techniques, and strategies to overcome obstacles related to
blood-brain barrier penetration.

To address the need for current education on adult glioblastoma, Robert
Michael Educational Institute LLC (RMEI) and Postgraduate Institute for
Medicine (PIM) are jointly sponsoring complimentary educational lectures at
medical institutions across the United States. These lectures, which are
accredited for physicians, pharmacists, and nurses, are supported by an
educational grant from Schering-Plough.

The faculty for these lectures are experts in neurology, neuro-oncology, and
radiation oncology from leading medical institutions. The Chairperson is Marc
C. Chamberlain, MD, Professor of Neurology & Neurological Surgery and Chief of
the Division of Neuro-Oncology at the University of Washington in Seattle,
Washington. 

Healthcare professionals can visit www.RMEI.com/GBLectures, call toll-free
1-877-499-2323, or email GBLectures@RMEI.com to schedule a lecture at their
institution today.
