Advanced brain and spine tumor care – from diagnosis to treatment
Advanced imaging and biopsy may be used to diagnose your tumor. If you need additional imaging, lab testing, pharmacy or specialists, we’ll connect the dots for your care.
Depending on the type and size of your tumor, your care plan may include radiation therapy, surgery or both. Our neurosurgeons have the experience and expertise to target brain and spinal tumors. And, we use minimally invasive surgery, including CyberKnife® and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). With minimally invasive brain and spine surgery, small incisions are used, which may lead to less pain and a shorter recovery time.
