Gliomas
Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor, arising from glial cells that support nerve cells. Our neurosurgery specialists specialize in treating all grades of gliomas, including glioblastoma, astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, using advanced surgical techniques, targeted therapies and participation in cutting-edge clinical trials.

Meningiomas develop from the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Most are benign, but our expert New York team are experts in treating both benign and malignant meningiomas using minimally invasive approaches, stereotactic radiosurgery and complex skull base surgery when needed.

Brain metastases occur when cancer spreads to the brain from other parts of the body. Our multidisciplinary team coordinates with medical oncologists to provide comprehensive treatment including surgery, radiosurgery and systemic therapies to control both brain and systemic disease.
Pituitary Tumors
Pituitary tumors can affect hormone production and vision. Our skull base surgery experts use minimally invasive endoscopic approaches to remove these tumors while preserving normal pituitary function and protecting surrounding critical structures.

These rare tumors near the pituitary gland primarily affect children and young adults. Our pediatric and adult neurosurgeons work together to provide specialized care that preserves neurological function and quality of life.
