Glioma, Glioblastoma & Astrocytoma<\/h3>\n

Glioblastoma is a cancer of the brain that\u2019s difficult to treat because it invades the normal brain structure.<\/p>\n

Meningioma<\/h3>\n

Meningiomas are the most common benign brain tumor although up to 10% can exhibit more aggressive growth patterns.<\/p>\n

Metastatic Brain Tumors<\/h3>\n

Metastatic brain tumors (also known as secondary brain tumors) arise from a cancer from another part of the body and occur in 10 \u2013 30% of cancer patients.<\/p>\n

Schwannoma (Trigeminal And Vestibular)<\/h3>\n

Schwannoma (Trigeminal & Vestibular) tumors are typically benign and arise from the nerve sheath (covering) of cranial nerves along-side the cerebellum and brainstem.<\/p>\n

Craniopharyngioma<\/h3>\n

Craniopharyngiomas are benign brain tumors that arise near the Pituitary Gland and Pituitary Stalk and are typically both cystic and solid in structure.<\/p>\n

Chordoma<\/h3>\n

Chordoma are locally invasive slow growing malignant tumors that arise from the remnant of the primitive notochord.<\/p>\n

Colloid Cyst<\/h3>\n

Colloid Cyst are relatively uncommon benign cysts that arise within the fluid filled regions of the brain, the ventricles.<\/p>\n

Epidermoid Cyst<\/h3>\n

Epidermoid Cyst are relatively uncommon benign cysts or tumors that arise from stratified squamous epithelium along the surface of the brain.<\/p>\n

Hemangioblastoma<\/h3>\n

Hemangioblastoma are relatively uncommon benign tumors that are comprised of blood vessels and typically arise in the cerebellum, but can also occur in the brainstem and spinal cord.<\/p>\n

Intraventricular Tumors<\/h3>\n

The ventricles of the brain are fluid-filled structures that produce the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord.<\/p>\n

Olfactory Neuroblastoma (Esthesioneuroblastoma)<\/h3>\n

Olfactory neuroblastomas (ONBs) are rare malignant tumors that arise from the olfactory nerve (sense of smell) and extend into the nasal cavity.<\/p>\n

Pineal Regional Tumors<\/h3>\n

The pineal gland lies deep within the brain and regulates circadian rhythm. Occasionally, tumors or cysts can arise from this gland which may require surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

Spinal Cord Tumors<\/h3>\n

Spinal cord tumors arise in the spinal cord itself or adjacent to the spinal cord and can occur in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Treatments<\/h2>\n

\"translational-neurosciences\"Glioma, Glioblastoma & Astrocytoma<\/h3>\n

Treatment of gliomas may involve surgical debulking, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

Meningioma<\/h3>\n

Symptomatic meningiomas typically require surgical removal.<\/p>\n

Metastatic Brain Tumors<\/h3>\n

Depending on the size, treatment options include surgical removal through a Keyhole Craniotomy or precision radiosurgery (SRS).<\/p>\n

Schwannoma (Trigeminal And Vestibular)<\/h3>\n

Treatment options include surgical removal through a keyhole retrosigmoid craniotomy or other skull base approach or by radiosurgery.<\/p>\n

Craniopharyngioma<\/h3>\n

Treatment options include surgery, radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), and hormonal replacement therapy.<\/p>\n

Chordoma<\/h3>\n

Treatment options depend on the location. Initial treatment for a clival chordoma is with surgical removal, however, some extensive and\/or laterally placed chordomas may require different skull base surgical approaches.<\/p>\n

Colloid Cyst<\/h3>\n

Treatment depends on the location and size of the colloid cyst.<\/p>\n

Epidermoid Cyst<\/h3>\n

Surgery is required to remove large epidermoid tumors that are causing symptoms.<\/p>\n

Hemangioblastoma<\/h3>\n

Typical treatment options are surgical removal through a sub-occipital or Retromastoid Craniotomy.<\/p>\n

Intraventricular Tumors<\/h3>\n

Treatment options can include direct endoscopic biopsy and resection, however, for larger tumors, a brain-port is helpful for better tumor access and control.<\/p>\n

Olfactory Neuroblastoma (Esthesioneuroblastoma)<\/h3>\n

The aggressive nature of Olfactory Neuroblastoma typically warrants multimodality treatment options including surgical removal and radiotherapy in most cases and sometimes chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

Pineal Regional Tumors<\/h3>\n

Most tumors, require surgical debulking or resection. Biopsies could also be performed endoscopically through the ventricles.<\/p>\n

Spinal Cord Tumors<\/h3>\n

The optimal treatment option for a spinal cord tumor is in-part related to the type and location.<\/p>\n","layer_is_content_auto_columns":false,"sidebar_position":"right","widgets":false,"layer_icon":"","layer_icon_position":"left","layer_background_color":"","layer_id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"layer_content_sidebar","layer_label":"","layer_headline":"","layer_intro":"
