Treatments We Offer at the Brain and Spine Tumor Center

Making treatment decisions can be overwhelming. Our promise is to work with you to find the best treatment plan for you or your loved one.

Every patient deserves the highest standard of care. Treatment planning for brain and spine tumors is a dynamic and multidisciplinary process that will change to fit the needs of the patient. The type of treatment you receive is decided by discussing different factors such as the tumor type, its genetic markers, its location, your age and medical history, and your ability to tolerate specific chemotherapies or procedures.

General types of therapies we offer include:

• Surgery
• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Targeted and biological therapies
• The Optune device
• Rehabilitation
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Speech therapy
• Driving rehabilitation for patients with epilepsy
• Proton Therapy

Your treatment plan may be discussed during clinic visits or over the phone. It is helpful to bring your patient book and a notepad to your clinic visits. We also recommend that you keep a written list of questions you can bring to your appointments.
