Brain Tumors


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.
