Hugh's Story: After Hugh was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Rush head and neck surgeon Guy Petruzzelli, MD, PhD, and neurosurgeon Richard Byrne, MD, teamed up to remove it through his nose, with no skin incisions.
The Brain Tumor Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, offers a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of brain tumors (cancerous and noncancerous). At Rush, patients have access to the latest diagnostic and treatment options, from stereotactic radiosurgery to minimally invasive brain and skull base surgery that can be performed without incisions and that requires only a short hospital stay.
