St. Luke’s Health’s multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and staff partners with patients and their families to ensure a personalized approach to care using breakthrough research and collaboration. Brain and spine tumors deserve expert treatment performed by leading specialists, and our team treats all forms of benign and malignant tumors with a full range of surgical and non-surgical options.
Types of tumors we treat include:
Our neurosurgeons are trained in some of the most advanced surgical techniques and tailor treatment plans specifically to each patient.

A non-invasive alternative to surgery for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, targeted radiation therapy using CyberKnife® and Gamma Knife® tracks, detects, and corrects for motion to administer precise radiation dose therapy. The non-surgical treatment requires no anesthesia and is painless. This technology is used to treat many tumors and lesions that may have been previously considered inoperable or untreatable, including those in the brain and spine.
Benefits of targeted radiation therapy include:
