Endeavor Health provides advanced treatment options and compassionate care for brain tumors — because every patient deserves hope and support. Facing a brain tumor diagnosis can be overwhelming, but brain cancer treatment has seen incredible advancements. At Endeavor Health Neurosciences Institute, our brain tumor and neuro-oncology program provides world-class care for patients with benign and malignant brain tumors.

Our compassionate and highly skilled multidisciplinary team — made up of neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and neuropathologists, plus radiation oncologists and medical oncologists — is here to guide you through your options. Combining innovative treatment options, state-of-the-art technology and national recognition in neuro-oncology, we’re committed to helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes, with support at every step.

Personalized care for every type of brain tumor

Brain tumors come in many forms, each requiring a unique approach. Tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They can start in the brain or start elsewhere and spread to the brain as metastatic tumors. Our team will work closely with you  to understand the nature of the tumor — whether it’s impacting cognitive function, movement or overall wellbeing — and design a personalized care plan to meet your individual needs.

Types of brain tumors we treat
  • Primary brain tumors that originate in the brain
  • Metastatic brain tumors that spread from other parts of the body
  • Benign brain tumors, including meningiomas and pituitary adenomas
  • Malignant brain tumors, such as glioblastoma and astrocytoma
Comprehensive assessment

Your first visit will begin with a thorough assessment that goes beyond simply understanding the tumor — we want to understand how it affects your life.

Our specialists will review your medical history, conduct neurological assessments and perform imaging studies to build a clear picture of the tumor’s type, size and location. Additionally, we offer expedited office consultations for patients with new brain tumor diagnoses. In some locations, our specialists are often able to see patients within 24-48 hours of the initial call. Common diagnostic tools include:

  • Advanced brain imaging: Detailed MRI or CT scans help us distinguish tumor cells from healthy brain cells.
  • Neurological assessments: Tests to evaluate cognitive function, memory and motor skills give us a fuller picture of how the tumor impacts daily life.

Every visit is designed to provide you with clarity, hope and an understanding of the road ahead.

Treatment options for brain tumors
  • Biopsy and pathology: For an in-depth diagnosis, biopsies may be taken and examined to identify the exact type of tumor.
  • Brain surgery: Our neurosurgeons specialize in leading-edge and minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic and stereotactic procedures. We target and remove even the most complex tumors with precision while preserving healthy tissue.
  • Radiation therapy: Advanced therapies like stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allow us to focus on eliminating tumor cells while sparing surrounding healthy cells.
  • Chemotherapy and targeted therapies: For malignant tumors, chemotherapy and other targeted treatments work to slow tumor growth and support remission.
  • Clinical trials: Our patients have access to pioneering therapies through clinical trials, offering new hope and possibilities for complex brain tumors.

Clinical trials and innovation

We're advancing brain tumor treatment through leading-edge research and clinical trials. Participation in clinical trials provides our patients with access to the latest therapies while contributing to the future of neuro-oncology. By joining a trial, patients become part of a community working toward better, more effective treatments for brain tumors.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, many patients live fulfilling lives after a brain tumor diagnosis. With modern treatments, rehabilitation and ongoing support, our team is here to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

Not necessarily. Some brain tumors can be effectively managed with nonsurgical options, like radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Our team evaluates each case individually to create the best treatment plan for you.

Brain surgery options include minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, craniotomy, conscious/awake craniotomy and tumor resection. Our neurosurgeons use the latest techniques to maximize tumor removal and support recovery.

Nonsurgical options include advanced radiation therapies (like SRS and IMRT), chemotherapy, targeted drug treatments and clinical trials — all tailored to your specific needs.
