Tumors in and around the spine and spinal cord aren’t as common as brain tumors, but they do occur. The majority of spinal cord tumors are found in children and young adults, but anyone can be diagnosed with a tumor at any point in their life.
When it comes to detecting, diagnosing and treating brain or spinal tumors, the Florida Hospital Brain and Spinal Cancer Program has a reputation for excellence.
Our advanced treatment options and experienced team of physicians, surgeons, nurses and specialists allow us to offer you the best outcomes possible. Further, we are highly involved in leading edge clinical trials that offer you treatment options and technologies that aren't available to the general public yet. In fact, as a leading research facility, the Florida Hospital Brain and Spinal Cancer Program is at the forefront of testing new therapies to treat brain and spinal tumors.
Throughout your care, we treat you with honesty and respect, answering all your questions regarding your diagnosis and treatment. As a part of your care team, we do everything within our power to help you make informed decisions about your treatment. We offer you a wide range of support services to help you and your family deal with your diagnosis during and after treatment.
We are committed to quality care with a skilled and professional team of health care professionals that are pushing the boundaries of brain and spinal tumor research and treatment.
