Neuro-Oncology
Is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms (new and abnormal growth of tissue especially as a characteristic of cancer), many of which are (at least eventually) dangerous, often life-threateningly also. A multidisciplinary team of brain, spine and nerve tumour specialists at the neuro-oncology department of Imperia Neurosciences & MultiSpeciality Hospital provides innovative, individually tailored treatments for all types of nervous system tumours, from the most common to the extremely rare, including low-grade and malignant glioma, glioblastoma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, metastatic tumours, pituitary adenoma, and cranial base tumours.
Our treatment encompasses both full-spectrum conventional care as well as promising new therapies. Our multidisciplinary group of brain, spine and nerve cancer experts develops and implements an integrated, care plan personalized to each patient. Depending on the stage and other characteristics of a patient’s cancer, treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these therapies.
Technologies & Procedures
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses precisely focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other abnormal growths in the brain, spinal column and other body sites. This technology delivers high doses of radiation to the tumor with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Specialists carefully monitor doses to avoid the risk of radiation overexposure. No incision is made, minimizing the chance of infection or excessive bleeding. General anesthesia is not required for adults. In effect, it is surgery without a scalpel.
