The staff at the Brain Tumor Center are committed to studying and developing the next generation of medical and surgical therapies in addition to providing extraordinary patient care. Research at the Brain Tumor Center involves scientists, neuroscientists, pathologists, physicists and engineers who share a strong bench-to-bedside mission.
A few among the many projects currently under study are:
- Gamma Knife surgery protocols
- Chemotherapy protocols
- Image-guidance protocols
- Artificial intelligence software programming for robots
- Photo dynamic therapy to both diagnose and treat tumors
- Immunotherapy with convection enhanced delivery of small molecules
Clinical Trials
Our patients have access to the most current clinical trials using new treatments and procedures that may not be available elsewhere. For example, patients may be enrolled in clinical protocols of state-of-the-art experimental therapeutics involving stem cells, perfusion therapy and small molecule therapies.
