Brain and spinal cancer diagnosis
Our neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, diagnostic neuroradiologists, and neuropathologists work together to carefully evaluate and diagnose the full range of brain and spinal cord cancers. Expert diagnosis lays the groundwork for developing a targeted, customized treatment protocol.
Brain and spinal cancer treatment
Our board certified specialists have expertise in the specific needs of patients with tumors of the brain and spinal column, and collaborate across medical disciplines to ensure our patients receive the most advanced evidence-based treatment protocols for their particular cancer. Our clinical trials program offers access to national trials and promising therapies not available elsewhere in the state.
Our neuro-oncology specialists target treatment of brain and spine tumors based on the type of tumor, its location and stage, and the patient’s overall health. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, our team offers patients advanced treatment options utilizing the latest technologies, all in the convenient setting of a community hospital. Treatment options, including clinical trials, typically include a combination of:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy, including targeted radiation delivered by TrueBeam®
- Chemotherapy
Clinical trials may also be an option. View our current clinical trials.
