Center for Neuro-Oncology

Dr. Turner with a patient.

The Center for Neuro-Oncology provides expert care and treatment for patients with cancers of the nervous system and neurologic complications from cancer and its therapies. Care and treatment is provided through a coordinated, multidisciplinary team of clinicians specializing in neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, psychosocial oncology, nursing, neuropathology, neuropsychology, social work, and genetic counseling.

Our clinical program in Neuro-Oncology is supported by a strong clinical and basic science research program. The basic science program aims to understand why tumors develop in the brain, and the mechanisms that drive tumor growth and resistance to therapy. The clinical research program – a leader in neuro-oncology clinical trials – focuses on applying discoveries made in the laboratory to drug development and treatment options for patient care.
