When a tumor is found in the brain, spine or central nervous system, treatment needs to be comprehensive and cutting-edge. Ochsner’s Neuro-oncology group is made up of award-winning physicians, all experts in their field, who come together with one common goal — to create a unique plan of care tailored to each individual patient.
Treatment options for brain and spinal cancer include both surgical and non-surgical options, and if a patient’s care plan calls for surgery, they’re in good hands — the Ochsner neuro-oncology surgeons are among the region’s most experienced in both conventional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and non-invasive radiosurgery.
And when surgery isn’t enough, Ochsner’s commitment to ongoing research offers patients additional supplemental care through clinical trials.
