Unmatched Excellence in Brain Cancer Care
When you've been diagnosed with brain cancer, you want access to advanced treatments and experienced clinicians. At Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, we offer both.
Brain cancer starts when brain cells grow out of control and form a mass, called a brain tumor. At Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, a team of highly skilled clinicians will work together to find the best treatment for your specific diagnosis.
Types of brain tumors
Our clinicians provides care for all kinds of brain and spinal cord tumors, including:
- Glioblastoma multiforme
- Gliomas
- Medulloblastoma
- Meningiomas
Our doctors also treat schwannoma and pituitary tumors. These tumors are almost never cancerous, but they may still cause problems if not addressed.
Prognosis depends on many factors, including the type, size, location and growth rate of the brain tumor. Getting the best care available improves the chances of a positive outcome.
