Childhood Brain Tumor Center Treatment Team


  • At Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Childhood Brain Tumor Center, we assemble an individualized team of pediatric brain tumor specialists who work together to develop recommendations for the most appropriate treatment for your child. A typical brain tumor patient care team will include neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiation oncologists, and other subspecialists with deep expertise in the specific types of brain tumors they treat.
