香港神經腫瘤學會
The Hong Kong Neuro-Oncology Society, a nonprofit multi-disciplinary organization, was formed in 2011 by the concerted effort of a group of neurosurgeons, radiologists, oncologists and pathologists working in the public and private sectors because we want to improve the standard of care and well-being of patients suffering from tumours of the nervous system in Hong Kong. Tumours of the nervous system are relatively uncommon tumours, the public may not be fully aware of these tumours and the hardships these patients suffer. Being tumours affecting the important organs of the brain or spine, these tumours can inflict severe symptoms and functional deficits to the patients, producing great burdens on the patients, their families and the community.
The Society is committed to improve treatment and care, promote education and exchange of knowledge in the field of tumours of the nervous system through holding academic meetings and research collaborations in Hong Kong and overseas, enhancing public awareness of these tumours with public campaign, education and patient activities.
The membership of the Hong Kong Neuro-Oncology Society is open to all doctors, nurses and other health care workers involved in the care of patients of nervous system tumours. Doctors can become full members, nurses and allied health workers can become associate members. No membership fee is required.
香港神經腫瘤學會是一個非牟利性的多學科組織，於2011年在公共和私營部門工作的一批神經外科醫師，放射科醫生，腫瘤學家和病理學家的共同努力下成立，因為我們希望提高香港神經系統腫瘤患者的健康狀況及護理水平。神經系統腫瘤是相對罕見的腫瘤，公眾可能沒有完全意識到此腫瘤以及這些患者所遭受的苦難。這種腫瘤是會影響大腦或脊柱重要器官的，會給患者帶來嚴重的症狀和功能缺陷，令患者及他們的家人和社區帶來沉重負擔。
本學會致力於通過在香港和海外舉行學術會議和研究合作，改善神經系統腫瘤領域的治療和護理，促進教育和知識交流，通過公眾運動，教育和公眾活動來提高公眾對這些腫瘤的認識。
香港神經腫瘤學會的會員資格- 對參與神經系統腫瘤患者護理的所有醫生，護士和其他醫護人員。醫生可以成為正式成員，護士和相關的衛生工作者可以成為準成員。無需會員費。
