| The World Health
Organization (WHO) recognizes many different types of
brain tumors. Each one is pathologically distinct and
each tumor exhibits different clinical behavior. As such,
each tumor deserves individual attention. The neuro-oncology
group at the University of Chicago specializes in the
treatment of all brain tumors, including: |
