    Chemotherapy

    Chemotherapy is a type of malignant brain tumor treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. The chemicals in chemotherapy attack cancer cells by interfering with cell division and stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Sometimes, chemotherapy is the only cancer treatment used. But more often, chemotherapy is used in combination with surgery, radiation therapy or biological therapy.

    Intraoperative 3T MRI

    This advanced medical imaging improves surgical outcomes by allowing images to be taken while you are still in the operating room. Thanks to this technology, we ensure the surgery has been successful, minimizing the potential need for a second operation and reducing exposure to radiation in our state-of-the-art neurological suites.

    Radiation Therapy

    Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to eliminate tumor cells or keep them from growing. Depending on the type of brain tumor and its location, one of two types of radiation therapy may be recommended in your treatment plan. External radiation therapy uses a source that is outside the body to deliver radiation to the tumor's location. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance that is sealed inside a needle, wire, catheter or "seeds" and placed directly into or near the brain tumor.
