DESCRIPTION:Awake Brain Tumour Surgery and Fluorescence: Towards a Standard
  \n\nThis presentation will highlight the technique of awake brain mapping
  as well as the use of 5-ALA Fluorescence Guided Surgery to achieve maxima
 l safe resection of malignant brain tumours. Dr. Sinclair will share the p
 rocess of training other neurosurgeons across Canada to improve the care o
 f patients with brain tumours.\n\nPresented by Dr. John Sinclair\n\nDr. Jo

 his residency at The University of Ottawa and subsequent fellowships at St
 anford University in California\, he has led the introduction of new innov
 ative treatment options at The Ottawa Hospital. He helped bring the CyberK
 nife radiosurgery system to Ottawa in 2010 and has established advanced aw
 ake mapping techniques over the last 10 years. He most recently introduced
  Fluorescence-Guided Surgery to The Ottawa Hospital after first completing
  his Gleolan (5-ALA) training program in Switzerland in 2017. He has been 
 using the technique for the resection of glioblastomas in Canada since 201
 8 and has completed over 150 cases using Gleolan (5-ALA). Dr. Sinclair is
