Neurosurgeons at UC San Diego Health's Moores Cancer Center are among the first in the world to utilize real-time MRI guidance for delivery of gene therapy as a potential treatment for brain tumors. Using MRI, neurosurgeons can inject Toca 511, a novel investigational gene therapy directly into a brain malignancy such as glioblastoma.

When Peter fell down stairs and hit his head, he didn’t expect it to save his life. An imaging study revealed a skull base meningioma — a benign tumor of the covering of the brain. He sought care from neurosurgeon Raj Mukherjee, M.D., M.P.H., who performed a minimally invasive craniotomy and removed the tumor. After the surgery, Peter says, it felt like a light had been turned on — the tumor was impacting his cognitive function for years and he didn’t realize it. Now he is more adamant than ever to live life to its fullest. #Meningioma #JohnsHopkins https://www.hopkinsmedicine.or....g/health/conditions-

This 3D animation demonstrates the minimally invasive and keyhole surgical techniques offered at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute. Keyhole surgery can be helpful for patients with brain, pituitary and skull base tumors. With leading-edge technology and a proven track record in keyhole and endonasal endoscopic approaches, we make surgery safer, less invasive and more effective.

When faced with a diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor, patients benefit from second opinions. Visit https://mayocl.in/2m7jlnG to request an appointment or discuss your inoperable brain tumor diagnosis.

"When you are told that you have an inoperable brain tumor, your responsibility as a patient is always to question that diagnosis and seek a higher level of expertise," says Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, M.D., a neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Quinones-Hinojosa, Terence (Terry) C. Burns, M.D., Ph.D., and David J. Daniels, M.D., Ph.D., discuss the risks, benefits and alternatives of operating to treat complex brain cancer.

"It's important to know that an inoperable brain tumor may be inoperable by the center or the clinician who is evaluating you at that time," says Dr. Burns. "But it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no one in the world who has the ability to safely operate on that tumor."

A team-based assessment from Mayo Clinic involves multiple experts with expertise in any given tumor type working with the patient to understand and weigh all of the factors for that individual, including quality-of-life factors such as language and movement.

Mayo Clinic provides team-based care to provide the best treatment for patients with brain tumors. By seeing a large number of even the rarest tumors, Mayo Clinic is able to use the latest surgical techniques, imaging, chemotherapy, radiation and clinical trials to give the best chance for patients with brain cancer.
