Introduction

What Is Neuro Oncology?
Neuro-oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Unlike general neurosurgery, neuro-oncology emphasizes preserving brain function, maintaining neurological safety and quality of life, and treating both benign and malignant tumors.

Each neuro-oncology case at DHEE Hospitals is reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board comprising:
- Neurosurgeons
- Medical oncologists
- Radiation oncologists

This collaborative approach ensures precise diagnosis, shared decision-making, and personalized treatment plans, resulting in better outcomes and reduced risks.
