Brain & Skull Tumor Services We Offer
Montefiore Einstein is renowned for implementing advanced treatments and state-of-the-art technology to treat brain and skull tumors. Ever-evolving brain tumor immunotherapies have shown promise in improving survival rates and reducing harmful impacts by stimulating immune cells to attack the tumor, by blocking the signals that help the tumor evade the immune system or by using other novel mechanisms that frequently allow patients to avoid neurosurgical treatment.
Should surgery be an option, our neurological and neurosurgical team uses high-resolution image guidance for brain navigation and continuous electrophysiologic monitoring of essential brain structures. This ensures that eloquent areas of the brain that are important for movement and higher-order communications are preserved and even further enhanced. If surgery is recommended as part of your care plan, we’ll coordinate scheduling with our world-renowned surgeons at one of the many locations within our health system.
