Patient Consultations

The Brain Tumor Clinic offers a coordinated and multi-disciplinary approach to the care of patients who are afflicted with adult and pediatric brain tumors. Patients at the Brain Tumor Clinic are evaluated by a team of dedicated multidisciplinary specialists in medical and pediatric neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neuroradiology, opthalmology, social services, nursing services and other support groups.

At the Brain Tumor Clinic, patients are examined and their cases are reviewed every Wednesday and Friday. Recommendations are made based on a review of history, radiographic and pathologic findings. Results of the findings and recommendation for therapeutic options, including clinical trials, are discussed with the patient and, if the patient consents, referring physician(s).

Clinicians at the Brain Tumor Clinic participate in various clinical trials developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the North American Brain Tumor Consortium (NABTC), the New Approaches to Brain Tumor Therapy (NABTT) consortium and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC). Since our physicians are active members of these consortiums, we are capable of combining and focusing the experience, resources and capabilities of many outstanding medical institutions throughout the country.
