Brain and spinal tumors are rare. Nevertheless, they are the most common solid tumor in children. Brain tumors in children are very different than in adults. A diagnosis of a brain tumor can be very traumatic for a child and family. The good news is that with the right combination of treatment, some brain tumors can be cured. We work closely with our neuro-oncologist and neurosurgeons in treating children with brain tumors. To learn more about Brain Tumors in children, please visit children's health A-Z section. To schedule an appointment, or for additional information, please contact the Neurology Clinic. Lucile Packard Children's Hospital is located in Palo Alto, adjacent to Stanford University Hospital, approximately 20 miles north of San Jose, CA and 40 miles south of San Francisco.
