University of Missouri Health Care offers a full range of medical services and state-of-the-art treatments for adults and children with tumors affecting the brain and spine. Our physicians care for patients at University Hospital, Children’s Hospital and Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.

Specialists in Neurological Surgery, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Neurology work as a coordinated team to provide a comprehensive approach to patient care that also ensures continuity of care.

The physicians and their colleagues are involved in basic and clinical research to better understand brain tumor biology and to develop improved therapeutic approaches. This research allows patients the opportunity to decide whether to participate in clinical trials of the newest brain tumor treatments.
