At the Sylvester's Brain Tumor Institute Initiative, our researchers are working tirelessly to develop new more targeted, personalized treatments for all brain tumors - cancerous or benign. We are a multidisciplinary team, made up of more than 100 skilled surgeons, physicians, nurses, and researchers from several departments, including neurosurgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, neurology, pathology, and pediatrics, among others.
We are advancing the personalized treatment of brain tumors. By translating scientific progress into novel treatments, we provide crucial resources and support to our patients, their families, and caregivers. We’re striving to reduce the devastating burden of brain tumors through education, research and the delivery of personalized patient care.
