Brain & Spine Center
The Brain and Spine Center at M. D. Anderson is one of the largest of its kind in the world, devoted to diagnosing and treating cancers of the brain, spine and skull base. Specialists in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, neuropathology, neuroradiology, radiation oncology, clinical neuropsychology, psychiatry and neurophysiology work as a team to provide the most comprehensive approach to neuro-oncology care available. Supported by state-of-the-art technologies and a robust research program, they give patients access to the latest developments and a complete range of treatment alternatives.
Leaders in the field of neurosurgery, our experts utilize BrainSUITE® iMRI, an image-guided system that helps surgeons treat complex and hard-to-access brain tumors with pinpoint accuracy. Not every patient requires this sophisticated technology, but for those who do, BrainSUITE supports better outcomes by ensuring that the entire brain tumor is removed without damage to critical structures.
A clear choice – When faced with a brain tumor, spine tumor, or skull-based tumor, choosing the right treatment center can make a difference in your outcome. With a team approach to personalized care and neurosurgical innovations not available elsewhere, the Brain and Spine Center offers patients with malignant or benign tumors the best hope for the most effective treatment and quality of life.
