Neuro-Oncology at KIMS Neuroscience

At KIMS Neuroscience, we are at the forefront of providing comprehensive care for individuals with brain and spinal cord tumors. Neuro-oncology is a specialized field that combines advanced neurology, oncology, and neurosurgery to treat brain, spinal, and peripheral nervous system cancers. Our expert team of specialists is dedicated to offering innovative treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the highest standard of care in a compassionate and supportive environment.

What is Neuro-Oncology?

Neuro-oncology is a subspecialty of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of tumors affecting the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and spinal cord. These tumors can either be primary, originating within the CNS, or metastatic, meaning they have spread from other parts of the body. Neuro-oncology specialists work with patients to deliver a multidisciplinary approach, combining the latest in medical therapies, surgery, radiation, and supportive care to help achieve the best possible outcomes.

Categories of Neuro-Oncological Disorders We Diagnose

At KIMS Neuroscience, we aim to provide exceptional care for a diverse array of tumors located in the brain and spinal cord. These include, but are not limited to:

Gliomas: These are aggressive tumors that originate in the brain or spinal cord. The most common form and most aggressive variant of glioma is called glioblastoma.

Meningiomas: Classified under the prefix word for benign, these tumors are produced from the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges). While they are usually non-cancerous, they may result in adverse neurological complications.

Pituitary Tumors: Deemed as endocrine organs the pituitary gland is responsible for producing several hormones, therefore tumors occurring on the gland’s surface are pituitary tumors.

Metastatic Tumors: Known as secondary tumors, these are classified as metastatic if they originate from other organs in the body located further distally such as the lungs or breast and have spread to the brain or spinal cord.

Spinal Tumors: Tumors that arise within the spinal column or within its adjacent supporting tissues that impair physical motion and neurologic function.

Treatment Options at KIMS Neuroscience

We offer the following diverse therapies:

• Surgical Treatment: KIMS neurosurgeons are adept at performing brain and spinal surgeries for tumor excision while aiming to preserve maximum neurological function.
• Radiation Therapy: Modern advancements, such as stereotactic radiosurgery, offer cutting-edge radiation therapies that provide radiation to the tumor in a precisely dosed manner, limiting damage to the surrounding healthy tissues.
• Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can be effective with certain tumor types to control and prevent the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells.
• Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy: We provide the newest advances in immunotherapy and targeted therapies which assist the immune system in combating tumors or specifically attacks the designated cancerous cells more efficiently.
