Your child receives highly specialized care from a whole team of brain tumor experts.
Your child’s unique needs are reviewed and discussed by our team of specialists who collaborate on the best course of brain tumor treatment for your child. Our specialists are experts in neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neuroradiology, neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, endocrinology, neuropsychology, neuropathology and nursing.
We provide your child the most advanced surgical procedures and childhood brain tumor expertise.
Our pediatric neurosurgeons use the latest technology to maximize tumor removal and preserve brain function, assuring your child the best possible outcome. We are frequently called upon to teach these advanced techniques to neurosurgeons throughout the country.
Our research gives your child access to the newest brain tumor treatments for kids.
We are the only center in Oregon to conduct Phase I clinical trials for pediatric cancer care. This means at Doernbecher your child can participate in a clinical study and find new hope when conventional pediatric brain tumor treatments have not been successful.
