As the region’s only designated Neuroscience Center of Excellence, our expert Neurosurgeons and specially trained Neuroscience nursing staff have the most operating experience and post surgical care expertise in the region. They also have the most advanced surgical suites with stellar lighting, monitoring and robotics equipment specifically designed and built for the institute.

Brain Tumor Program

A brain tumor is a benign or malignant growth in the brain. Primary brain tumors arise in brain tissue. Secondary brain tumors are cancers that have spread to the brain tissue (metastasized) from elsewhere in the body. Brain tumors can and do occur at any age.

There are more than 120 different types of brain tumors, which are often assigned different grades, ranging from a Grade I (least malignant) to Grade IV (most malignant).
