Tumors can develop in the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. Patients with these tumor types are best treated in a multidisciplinary clinic setting. A team of neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, neuro-radiologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists join to create the UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center Brain and Spine Tumor Clinic and provide expert care in their fields.

Every Thursday, our Neuro-Oncology team gathers for Tumor Board to discuss cases and determine the best treatment options for the patients. Patients are then updated, as indicated based on the consensus of the Neuro-Oncology department, in order to proceed with the recommended treatment. This is the clinical approach we can provide at UofL Health Restorative Neuroscience – Neuro-Oncology, within the UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center's Brain and Spine Tumor Clinic.
