What We Treat

Gliomas are ‘primary’ brain tumors, which means they are derived from the brain tissue itself.

Brain metastases, or ‘secondary’ brain tumors, originate from cancer in another part of the body.

Meningiomas are  ‘primary’ brain tumors. They are derived from the lining of the brain (known as the meninges).

Ependymomas arise from the ependymal cells that line the ventricles (normal, fluid-filled spaces) of the brain and the center of the spinal cord.

A craniopharyngioma is a tumor arising from small nests of cells near the pituitary stalk at the base of the skull, near the pituitary gland, third ventricle, and optic nerve.

Pineal-region tumors represent less than 1% of all primary brain tumors. These tumors tend to occur in young adults between 20 and 40 years old.
