Brain Tumor Program

At Confluence Health, we have a multidisciplinary approach to brain tumor care. We offer the latest technology in neurosurgery and radiation oncology techniques to diagnose and treat cancers of the brain. Our technology and techniques include intra-operative stereotactic navigation, MRI guided stereotactic radiosurgery and the Optune device. At Confluence Health, we care about providing superior brain tumor care close to home.

We provide a broad range of services for patients who have been diagnosed with brain tumors. This includes primary brain tumors that originate inside the brain (such as glioblastoma), as well as metastatic brain tumors that originate outside the brain and then spread to it.

Our neurosurgeons perform brain tumor surgeries shortly after diagnosis. Intraoperative tools are employed regularly, including stereotactic navigation for precise tumor localization and microscope use for careful tumor dissection. In addition, intraoperative electrodiagnostic brain mapping is used in cases where eloquent brain structures affecting motor and speech functions are at risk. In some cases, this involves brain surgery on awake patients to further increase the safety of the procedure. Finally, endoscopic procedures can sometimes be employed as a less invasive approach to surgery.
