Advanced Treatment for Brain Cancer

Lehigh Valley Hospital experts in medical oncology, radiation oncology and surgery work together to make sure you get the most effective cancer treatment.

Our sophisticated neuro-oncology program offers progressive treatment, including stereotactic radiosurgery, for people with brain tumors. Our neuro-oncology team includes advanced neurosurgery, neurology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and psychiatry. We are one of a select number of hospitals nationwide to offer state-of-the-art Gamma Knife® radiosurgery, which uses highly target radiation beams to treat complex brain tumors, with minimal risk to surrounding normal tissue and no open incision.

Stereotactic radiosurgery is the use of very precise beams of radiation to treat brain tumors and other conditions that would be high risk or inoperable using traditional brain surgery. We have been performing stereotactic radiosurgery for more than a decade. The Gamma Knife® is the newest technology to use this process.

At Lehigh Valley Hospital, you know your doctors will work as a team right from the start. We use this team approach because it has been found to be the most effective way to treat brain cancer. Your team will work with you to develop a treatment plan based entirely on your individual situation.

While the advanced equipment matters, the skill and compassion of your doctors and surgeons are what really make the difference. They are the reason to consider the Cancer Center at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
