Treatment Options

At the Preston A. Wells Jr. Center for Brain Tumor Therapy, you will find one of the most advanced, comprehensive brain tumor research and treatment programs in the country. When it comes to treatment options, we have many.

During your initial appointment, you will meet with a brain tumor specialist who will have a detailed discussion with you about treatment options. He or she will discuss benefits and risks with you and your loved ones. When you decide to go forward with treatment, any necessary procedures are scheduled immediately. Your case may be presented at our weekly tumor board meetings, and several members of the treatment team will review in detail to formulate the most personalized treatment plan for additional therapy.

Treatments may include:

• Surgical options
• Immunotherapy
• Chemotherapy
• Device therapy
• Clinical trial participation
