The Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) is an international consortium, led by Dr. Sabine Mueller and Dr. Michael Prados, with centers within the United States, Europe, Israel, India and Australia. PNOC are dedicated to bringing new therapies to children and young adults with brain tumors. PNOC's goal is to improve outcomes by translating the latest findings in brain tumor biology into better treatments for these children.
As part of our ongoing webinar series, on Oct 22nd, 2021 we presented the PNOC Medulloblastoma Informational Webinar to provide updates on research and clinical trials and to answer patient family questions. For information on PNOC clinical trials, please email info@pnoc.us.
