• Complete Brain Cancer Program Vision

At the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, we are uniting teams of experts from related, yet diverse, disciplines to infuse new knowledge and perspectives into cancer care and move our basic, clinical, and translational science efforts forward. The interdisciplinary approach embodied by our Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute holds promise for something greater than the sum of individual faculty efforts. Our teams of faculty clinicians and scientists are focused on identifying and treating brain cancers early, determining factors that contribute to their development, researching new therapies and investigational drugs, and developing effective new cancer treatments.

It is our mission to:

• Endeavor to find a cure for brain and spinal tumors.
• Train neurooncology researchers and clinicians to meet the highest standards.
• Provide state-of-the-art clinical care to patients with brain tumors.
• Provide resources and support necessary for patients and their families to meet the challenges of living with a brain tumor.
