Neurosurgical Oncology Center

The Neurosurgical Oncology Center at Neuro Spinal Hospital of Excellence features two primary divisions: Adult Neurosurgical Oncology and Pediatric Neurosurgical Oncology. Our program includes leading neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuropathologists, researchers, rehabilitation experts, nurses, and support staff. This multidisciplinary team delivers compassionate and sophisticated care and uses the latest technologies to treat patients with tumors of the brain, spine, and skull base.

Adult Neurosurgical Oncology Program

The Adult Neurosurgical Oncology division is regionally recognized as a leader in the treatment of patients with both cancerous and benign tumors of the brain and spine. Our experts are skilled in a wide range of treatments and technologies and have pioneered both minimally invasive and traditional surgical approaches. Patients with both primary and metastatic brain and spine tumors are seen at our clinic, where weekly tumor boards review cases and create personalized management plans.

Minimally Invasive and Traditional Techniques

The Neuro Spinal Hospital neuro-oncology team has extensive experience with both traditional and minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures. Some of our specialized techniques include:

Neuroendoport Surgery

A minimally invasive technique for removing brain tumors using an endoscope through a small clear tube (the Neuroendoport). This approach allows access to deep-seated tumors through a much smaller opening than traditional surgery.

• Suitable for tumors within brain tissue, ventricles, metastases, and gliomas.
• Benefits include minimal scarring, fewer complications, and faster recovery times.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA)

An innovative surgical technique using the nose and sinuses as natural corridors to remove benign and cancerous brain tumors located at the skull base. EEA allows access to hard-to-reach or previously “inoperable” tumors without disturbing the face or skull.

Advanced Imaging Modalities

Our neurosurgeons use neuronavigation techniques and cortical mapping to localize lesions accurately and assess brain function during surgery, ensuring the safest and most effective pathways for tumor removal.

• Pharmacological and gene-therapeutic strategies
• Use of oncolytic viruses
• New radiation and imaging modalities

Pediatric Neurosurgical Oncology

• State-of-the-art neurosurgical technologies including 3D navigation and intraoperative MRI
• Access to innovative clinical trials for children with newly diagnosed or recurrent brain/spinal tumors
• Integrated care with pediatric neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, and endocrinology as required
