    Advanced Cancer Treatment

    When cancer appears in the brain and spinal cord—the core of your central nervous system—you want the most experienced, compassionate, positive-thinking and problem-solving medical team at your side. With Sutter’s Northern California network, you have access to more than 120 neurology specialists and neuro-oncologists, and highly trained nurses who provide personalized care that’s at the forefront of brain and spinal cord medicine.

    Our compassionate approach tends to your whole being, not just your disease. We offer dozens of integrative health modalities, such as massage, music or pet therapy, and spiritual practice to help you deal with the stress and anxiety of your situation.

    Better Treatments for Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors

    Your tumor may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Either type can destroy nearby healthy tissue, so you and your doctor will discuss biopsy options and treatments to reduce it (called tumor debulking) or remove it.

    Sutter Neuroscience Institute is one of about 20 health centers in California using the NICO Myriad® device, a tool that helps neurosurgeons remove hard-to-reach brain and spinal tumors through much smaller incisions. This means shorter and more successful surgeries, particularly for tumors deep inside the brain. In addition, surgeons in the Sutter Health network practice brain mapping by using a variety of imaging technologies to learn as much as possible about a tumor (size, shape, location) before and during surgery in order to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

    Clinical Perspectives

    Clinical Research Trials

    Many specialists conduct clinical studies through the Sutter Institute for Medical Research and other regional and national foundations. We encourage you to participate in clinical trials that may give you access to promising new therapies, and we’ll follow your care through every treatment stage.
