Experience
Our brain tumor surgeons and neuro-oncologists are some of the most experienced and highly skilled in the world. Patients with the most complex brain tumors travel from other countries for treatment at Barrow—a U.S. News & World Report top center for neurology and neurosurgery.
Surgical and Non-surgical Options
While our experts recommend surgery for some brain tumors, others can be treated with noninvasive radiosurgery or medication. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery can include a faster recovery time, minimal blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and less post-operative pain.
Phase 0 Clinical Trials
Barrow Neurological Institute is home to the Ivy Brain Tumor Center, one of the largest Phase 0 brain cancer clinical trial sites in the country. Participating in a Phase 0 trial means you can find out quickly if an experimental treatment is working for you, and move on to something else if it isn’t.
