      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

Neuro-oncology during the Covid-19 pandemics: considerations for the treatment of patients with brain tumors

April 9, 2020

At present, the Covid-19 pandemic is the focus of the global community and an all-consuming threat to the health care systems all across Europe. Resources and medical staff are reallocated, and planned medical activities are delayed or cancelled. Covid-19 poses a huge challenge, in terms of the medical needs of large number of infected patients, including extensive use of ICU; risk of disease among health professionals; and, not least, diminished health care for other patient groups.

The care of brain tumor patients must be a main concern of European neuro-oncologists throughout the time of the pandemic. Data are still very sparse regarding Covid-19 in cancer patients in general (1). We do not have data of how Covid -19 infections affect patients with brain tumors. Patients with brain tumors comprise a heterogeneous group with regard to age, symptom severity and prognosis. Thus, we should make clinical decisions on a case-by-case basis. One should consider the best possible timing of surgery or oncological therapy, the risk to the patient if treatment is delayed, medical co-morbidities, other prognostic factors and consequences of prolonged hospital stay, including exposure to infection. In addition to this, we must consider the degree of immunosuppression and concerns for family and caregivers. Finally, we must take into account the availability of postoperative ICU care, rehabilitation facilities and risk related to travelling.

We advise the following, which is in line with the statement from the EANO board, by Martin van den Bent and colleagues LINK(2):

  • Patients with brain tumors should exert high levels of care in regard to hygiene measures
  • Patients with brain tumors should seek medical advice at once if Covid-19 infection is suspected
  • Keep regular follow-up intervals, but employ teleconsultations when safe and feasible
  • Consider prolonging follow-up MRI appointments in asymptomatic, long-term survivors of less malignant brain tumors, for instance, meningiomas and schwannomas
  • Consider hypofractionated radiotherapy in certain patient groups where outcome is not likely to be affected considerably, in particular elderly glioblastoma patients
  • Consider postponing radiotherapy if it seems safe and feasible
  • Consider refraining from invasive procedures in some cases, for instance biopsy in elderly patients with typical radiological features of glioblastoma, or postpone surgery in some patients if safe
  • Due to the risk of immunosuppression, consider avoiding chemotherapy in subgroups of patients in whom the efficacy is uncertain, such as elderly patients with MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma, patients with low grade glioma without progression or standard risk adult medulloblastoma
  • Optimize antiepileptic therapy, according to the recommendations of the SP for epilepsy (LINK)
  • Taper steroids to the lowest effective dose, if possible
  • Consider end-of-life decisions in severely ill patients, in case of infection or need of emergency hospitalization
  • Consider methods to give additional support and information, for instance nurse-led support telephone services, online medical counselling and collaboration with national brain tumor patients organizations

Patients with brain tumors are aware of their vulnerability. Social isolation and physical distancing may add to anxiety and distress. These are challenging times for patients, patients’ caregivers and the professional neuro-oncological community. We do not know the duration or outcome of the pandemic, but we know for sure that it will affect our patients with brain tumors, directly and indirectly.
We call for sharing of experiences on presentation of infected patients with brain tumors, with the aim of gaining knowledge on best management of our patients in the midst of a pandemic.
