The Stanford Meningioma Program combines a multidisciplinary clinical care team with a strong clinical and research program, in an effort to facilitate the rapid transfer of basic scientific findings into clinical protocols for patients with tumors of the brain, including meningiomas. Meningiomas are the most common type of brain tumor, are typically benign, and may remain for years before they're identified by a doctor. While they often do not cause problems, some meningiomas do require treatment. At our Center, our team of doctors and specialists create an individulized treatment plan, which may include active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery such as endoscopic endonasal surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of surgery and radiation therapy.
