Neuro-Oncology Clinical Research
The Center for Neuro-Oncology participates in, and develops, numerous research studies and clinical trials. The goal is to help provide greater understanding, develop new methods to detect and diagnose those diseases, and focus on innovative treatments that are not broadly available to patients.
Clinical trials offer patients some of the very latest in care while giving physicians and researchers the opportunity to study the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. Participation is voluntary.
Our experienced neuro-oncology team, carefully review study criteria, potential benefits, risks, and other considerations with eligible patients for enrollment into a clinical study. Once enrolled, our clinical research staff carefully monitors patients throughout the research trial and is available to answer questions.
To learn more about our ongoing trials available at the Center for Neuro-Oncology, please contact our nurse at 877-601-6282.

Malignant Brain Tumors (including metastatic brain tumors and gliomas)
Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of Malignant Brain Tumors
The purpose of this research is to analyze and collect brain tumor tissue to help further molecularly and biochemically characterize these lesions to help better understand this disease and, ultimately, add to the scientific data to help find new and effective treatments.
