Brain cancer care at Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic specialists are respected for their expertise and experience caring for people with brain tumors.

Your Mayo Clinic care team

At Mayo Clinic, specialists within the Brain Tumor Program work together to provide comprehensive care for people with brain tumors. Your care team might include neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and radiologists. This means that you're not getting just one opinion. You benefit from the knowledge and experience of each specialist.

Close collaboration enables the team to have your test results available quickly and to coordinate scheduling your appointments. Evaluation and treatment that might take months elsewhere can typically be done in only a matter of days at Mayo Clinic.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Doctors at Mayo Clinic have access to the latest imaging technology to make an accurate diagnosis and plan treatment. That includes the use of fluorescence-guided imagery, which helps surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery. FGS uses glowing dyes that help surgeons find and remove tumors more accurately. These dyes make the surgical area light up, which helps surgeons see the difference between cancer cells and healthy tissue. This process can make surgery safer and more effective and lessen the need for more surgeries.

At Mayo Clinic, you have access to a full range of treatment options. This includes many innovative types of radiation therapy that allow doctors to deliver radiation directly to the brain tumor. These include:

Nationally recognized expertise

Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center meets the strict standards for a U.S. National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. These standards recognize scientific excellence and a multispecialty approach focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Mayo Clinic participates in the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. This organization brings together scientists throughout the U.S. and Canada. They work together to conduct clinical trials and reduce the impact of cancer.
