We developed The Brain Tumor Center at the University of Chicago in response to the questions raised by our patients, the desire to coordinate specialized neuro-oncologic care and the need to present objective data regarding the management and treatment of patients with brain tumors.

The Brain Tumor Center at the University of Chicago Medical Center offers a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to the care of adult and pediatric patients with tumors of the central nervous system. Within the Center, patients with primary and metastatic brain tumors are evaluated by a team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuro-pathologists, neuro-radiologists, neuro-otologists and neuro-opthalmologists. Since no two individuals or brain tumors are alike, we review each case with an emphasis on what is right for the patient.
