Targeted Treatments

• Targeted treatments treat specific parts or functions of tumor cells, interfering and redirecting the way the cells work. Because of this, a host of new innovative drugs, immune therapies and drug delivery systems are developing.
  
  

Immunotherapy Vaccines

• The body's immune system identifies and destroys foreign cells, viruses and other potentially harmful organisms; however, sometimes our immune systems do not recognize cancer cells as dangerous or foreign. Immunotherapy vaccines cause the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells.
  
  

Avastin

• Avastin is a cancer medication used to stop the growth of brain tumors and other cancer cells by blocking new blood vessels from developing in tumors, thus slowing their growth.
  
  

Computer-Assisted Neurosurgery

• Computer-assisted neurosurgery allows surgeons to map the brain and treat tumors more accurately and aggressively.
  
  

Intraoperative MRI

• An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a technique used to create detailed images of the body's organs using magnetic fields and radio waves. An intraoperative MRI allows surgeons to collect real-time data on a tumor's volume and location.
