Our highly experienced team consisting of neuro-oncology physicians, neurosurgeons, neurologist, radiation oncologists, endocrinologist, oncology nurses, social workers, nutritionists and child life specialists provide comprehensive care and support for children and their families.
Brain tumors are abnormal growths in the brain that can be either cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). The effects on the brain of malignant and benign brain tumors are very similar and can cause the same types of problems depending upon the type of tumor and where it is located in the brain.
