Our interventional radiologists specialize in using these and other nonsurgical techniques for targeted treatments.

Neuro-oncology program

If you have been diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor, it is critical for you to see a highly trained neurosurgeon with experience in treating these conditions.

Our surgical team is a leader neuro-oncology, using new and innovative treatment methods to evaluate, diagnose and remove brain and spinal cord tumors.

Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT)

LITT is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical technique for treating brain tumors. It allows neurosurgeons to gently and precisely use a robotically-driven laser to destroy tumor tissue using real-time MRI guidance.

Benefits of LITT include:

  • A leading-edge option for inoperable or recurrent brain tumors, radiation necrosis or tumors in medically-fragile patients
  • Minimally invasive with an incision smaller than a centimeter
  • Real-time MRI thermography allows the neurosurgeon to monitor tissue temperature while robotically steering laser light to ablate (destroy) unwanted tissue
  • Faster recovery and same-day hospital discharge
