Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to extend my sincerest invitation to you to participate the 4th Meeting of the Asian Society for Neuro-Oncology which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan at the Grand Hotel Taipei from November 4-6, 2005.

The main themes of this meeting include basic research in neuro-oncology, neuropathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, molecular targeting, neuroimaging, update radiotherapy, chemotherapy and therapeutic trials, neurosurgery and pediatric neurosurgery, neuroendoscopy, epidemiological studies for brain tumors, epilepsy and brain tumors, and others.

In this meeting, renowned experts in Asia will attend and share their knowledge and expertise. We appreciate and call on all colleagues in the vineyards of Neuro-Oncology to submit scientific papers and/or posters. It will be an excellent opportunity to harvest fruits of recent research and to discuss new vista ahead in the art and science of Neuro-Oncology.

The Grand Hotel Taipei, the venue of 4th Meeting of ASNO, resides in the northern district of Taipei city. Built in 1952, it was once considered one of the top four hotels in Asia. With its traditional palace style architecture, vermillion pillars, stately archways and brilliantly tile roof, the grand hotel has played host to more than 50 heads of state, it is not only a magnificent landmark of Taiwan, but also a perfect venue for world-class events and grand social galas. It is our sincere choice for the decent ASNO meeting in Taipei.

Look forward to seeing you all in Taiwan, Nov. 2005. 

Tai-Tong Wong, MD
President of Organizing Committee
