Brain and Spine Tumors

Specialized Care. A Coordinated Approach.

A brain or spinal tumor diagnosis can bring uncertainty for patients and their families. At St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, our brain and spine tumor program brings together specialized expertise and treatment resources to help patients navigate their care.

Our multidisciplinary approach coordinates care among neurosurgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology and other specialists as appropriate. Treatment recommendations are tailored to the tumor type, location, symptoms and individual needs of each patient.

Our goal is to provide coordinated, specialized care close to home whenever possible.

 

Conditions We Treat

Our team evaluates and treats a range of benign and malignant tumors, including:

  • Primary brain tumors
  • Brain metastases
  • Spinal tumors
  • Tumors affecting the spinal cord
  • Tumors involving peripheral nerves
 
 

Treatment Options and Technology

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, systemic therapies, observation or a combination of approaches.

Available services and techniques may include:

  • Multidisciplinary case review and treatment planning
  • Minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical approaches
  • Image-guided neurosurgery and surgical navigation
  • Brain mapping for selected procedures
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery when clinically appropriate
  • Coordination with radiation and medical oncology
  • Supportive services for patients and families
 

Our specialists work together to evaluate treatment options and help patients understand the next steps in their care.

 
 

Support Throughout Your Care

Cancer treatment involves more than the procedure itself. Coordination among specialists and supportive care resources helps patients and families navigate appointments, treatment decisions and recovery.

Our team works to connect patients with the appropriate clinical and support services throughout their treatment journey.
