Neuro-oncologist

A neuro-oncologist is a specialized doctor who focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers of the brain and spinal cord, known as neurological tumors. They have expertise in both oncology (cancer treatment) and neurology (nervous system health), allowing them to develop personalized treatment plans that may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. Their goal is to manage tumors effectively while minimizing side effects, helping patients maintain the best possible quality of life. Neuro-oncologists work closely with other specialists, such as neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists, to provide comprehensive care for individuals with neurological cancers.
