SURGICAL NEURO-ONCOLOGY

High-precision microsurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery for the comprehensive treatment of primary, metastatic, and skull base brain tumors.

Integrated Neuro-Oncology Strategy

The treatment of brain tumors demands a highly specialized and multidisciplinary approach. Each lesion, whether primary or metastatic, presents unique challenges requiring surgical and radiosurgical strategies tailored to its size, location, and biological behavior.

We combine high-precision microsurgery with stereotactic radiosurgery to treat brain tumors, metastases, gliomas, skull base tumors, and pituitary tumors. This integration allows complex or deep-seated lesions to be addressed with maximum efficacy, preserving the patient's neurological function and quality of life.

Surgical Neuro-Oncology

01

Brain tumors

Abnormal growths within the brain that may affect neurological functions such as language, movement, or memory. They are treated with high-precision microsurgery, radiosurgery, or combined strategies depending on each case.

02

Brain metastases

Lesions originating from cancer in other parts of the body that lodge in the brain. Radiosurgery enables the treatment of multiple lesions without open surgery, with millimetric precision and preservation of healthy tissue.

03

Gliomas

Primary brain tumors with variable behavior. They are addressed with microsurgery guided by advanced technology and, when necessary, complementary radiosurgery to improve disease control.

04

Skull base tumors

Lesions located in deep and delicate areas of the brain, near critical nerves and vessels. They are treated with highly specialized approaches or radiosurgery, minimizing risks.

05

Pituitary tumors

Tumors affecting the gland that regulates the body's hormones. They may cause visual and hormonal disturbances. They are treated with minimally invasive surgery or high-precision radiosurgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brain tumors can be treated?

We treat primary brain tumors, brain metastases, gliomas, skull base tumors, and pituitary tumors. Each case is evaluated individually to define the best strategy among microsurgery, radiosurgery, or combined therapies.

When is radiosurgery indicated in neuro-oncology?

Radiosurgery is indicated for multiple brain metastases, skull base tumors, pituitary tumors, and selected cases of gliomas. It enables treatment of lesions without open surgery, with millimetric precision and preservation of healthy tissue.

How are skull base tumors treated?

Skull base tumors are treated with highly specialized microsurgical approaches or with stereotactic radiosurgery. The choice depends on the location, size, and proximity to critical nerves and vessels, minimizing risks.
