Brain and Spine Cancer Surgery

Tumors of the brain and spine can be difficult to treat, but with close collaboration between our teams at the Neurosciences Institute and the Riverside Cancer Institute, we can take on even the most challenging conditions. Some patients may be candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which targets tumors with extreme precision while sparing healthy tissue, all without a single incision.
