Neuro-oncology Treatments

Neuro-oncology treatments focus on diagnosing and treating tumors in the brain and spinal cord. Common approaches include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to kill cancer cells, and chemotherapy to target cancer from within the body. Newer methods, like targeted therapy, use drugs that specifically attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to fight the tumor. Clinical trials may also offer access to innovative treatments. Care is often managed by a team of specialists to ensure comprehensive support and optimize outcomes for patients.
