Treatments

Surgery is the first-line treatment for the majority of patients with brain tumors. Our neurosurgical team has extensive experience using the most advanced techniques to treat patients across all brain tumor types.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and slow their growth. We offer a range of radiation therapies that employ different techniques to specifically target tumor tissue.

Medical therapy uses drugs to address different aspects of brain tumor growth and symptomatology. These range from chemotherapy drugs that kill cancer cells, to angiogenesis inhibitors that limit a tumor’s ability to form blood vessels and thus survive. 

Our health care team is focused on comprehensive care that goes beyond treatment of a tumor to include supportive care strategies for improving a patient’s quality of life.

Our researchers are continually developing and testing new experimental diagnostics and therapies to improve patient outcomes and advance the field of brain tumor care.
