Neurooncology

Neurooncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of tumors in the brain and spinal cord. It combines principles from neurology, oncology, and neurosurgery to address both primary brain tumors, which originate in the brain, and metastatic tumors, which spread from other body parts. Neurooncologists work to develop personalized treatment plans that may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life while managing complex neurological symptoms associated with these conditions.
