The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center at SfN 2026

Nov 14–18, 2026 Washington, DC ~21k attendees Website

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center brings 9 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations at this meeting centre on cancer-related pain, neurological effects of cancer and its treatment, and Alzheimer’s disease and aging. One thread examines whether nimodipine can reduce neuropathic pain caused by paclitaxel or nerve injury in mice.
