Brain tumors can be complicated for neurosurgeons to diagnose and treat, but tumors located in eloquent parts of the brain present their own unique set of challenges. How are neurosurgeons managing these complex tumors while protecting their patients’ neurologic function? Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa and Dr. Wendy J. Sherman discuss how to diagnoses and carry out brain tumors in eloquent areas. With state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic experts are constantly seeking a greater understanding of brain tumors in order to improve patient care. A variety of clinical trials and other studies of tumor biology, neuropathology and epidemiology may be available to for brain tumor treatment at Mayo Clinic.
