<\/p>\n

The Department of Neurosurgery partners with the Neuro-Oncology program to develop new treatments for patients with tumors of the brain and central nervous system. The Neuro-Oncology team utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to perform comprehensive evaluations in order to formulate the best possible treatment for each individual patient.<\/p>\n

The Neuro-Oncology program has dedicated teams working to treat patients with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Primary brain tumors (glioblastoma [GBM], ependymoma, glioma, astrocytoma, oligodendroglia, oligoastrocytoma)<\/li>\n
  2. Metastatic brain tumors (spread to the brain of tumors such as lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, renal cancer, colon tumors, other types of cancer)<\/li>\n
  3. Skull-based tumors (meningioma, schwannoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, sinus tumors, glomus tumors, others)<\/li>\n
  4. Pediatric brain tumors (in children and young adults)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your team may consist of neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, radiation oncologists as well as nurses, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists\/social workers, who all bring their expertise to provide you with excellent personalized care and treatment.<\/p>\n<\/som-cell>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
