Our next Education Webinar, Navigating Head and Neck Paragangliomas: Expert Insights, is happening in 3 weeks on Wednesday, April 8th!

Bringing together two of the world’s leading authorities in skull base surgery and paraganglioma care, Professor Mario Sanna and Dr. Susan Richter will share their clinical insights and decades of experience treating these highly specialized tumors. Their presentations will address the unique diagnostic, surgical, and long-term management considerations that distinguish HNPGLs from adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL).

A moderated Q&A session led by Dr. Karel Pacak will follow to address patient and caregiver questions directly. Our amazing patient voice, Lacey Koelling, will share her lived experience navigating diagnosis, treatment decisions, and recovery.
