For any type of brain tumor, our neurological specialists at University Hospitals provide the expert diagnosis and specialized treatments you or a loved one may need. Brain tumors include a wide range of types of tumors and can be cancerous or non-cancerous. If a tumor originates in the brain, its called a primary brain tumor. If a tumor travels to the brain from another location, like the lungs, its called a metastatic brain tumor.

Regardless of the type of tumor, our multidisciplinary team at University Hospitals leads the way in offering our patients comprehensive care with the latest surgical and non-surgical interventions to stop tumor growth and maintain brain health.
