Patients in need of brain tumor diagnosis and expert treatment have access to a full team at RUSH MD Anderson that includes specialists in neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology and neuropathology who collaborate on custom care plans. Our specialists all have many years of experience focusing exclusively on brain tumor care and make up one of the highest-volume teams in the Chicago area. They offer the complete spectrum of surgery, radiation therapy and drug therapy options, with a priority on patient quality of life.
They also give close attention to patient experience. As patients navigate the challenges of a brain cancer diagnosis, their care team is available to them and their families at any time of day to answer questions and educate them about their options and what to expect. Our team also includes social workers, therapists, nutritionists, integrative medicine specialists and chaplains who help patients with the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of their care.
Patients can usually get appointments within two business days of referral, and care coordinators offer personal assistance with scheduling and providing information about facilities. Patients can also get same-day scheduling for MRIs if needed for appointments.
