Specialists in Treating Glioblastoma

When facing an aggressive form of cancer like glioblastoma, it is critical to start your treatment at a center highly experienced in treating the condition. The neurosurgeons at Brigham and Women's Brain Tumor Center work closely with 200 to 300 glioblastoma patients each year—a high volume of experience that allows for exceptional care. Our neurosurgeons, in collaboration with neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other cancer specialists, will develop a care plan that accounts for your individual cancer and incorporates the most up-to-date treatment options.

As a patient at Brigham and Women's Hospital, you can count on:

  • Care from a multidisciplinary team that focuses solely on diagnosing and treating brain tumors
  • Sophisticated imaging technologies that deliver unsurpassed precision and safety in brain surgery, including our Advanced Multimodality Image-Guided Operating (AMIGO) Suite
  • Extensive experience in techniques that allow us to treat tumors that were otherwise considered inoperable or untreatable
  • Access to novel therapies through clinical trials, including those studying new approaches in immunotherapy
  • Collaboration with highly regarded cancer specialists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
