Welcome to the website for the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch (CINN) Brain Tumor Program
Learning that you or a loved one has a brain tumor is a frightening event. The many questions and concerns about the diagnosis and possible treatments can be overwhelming. This website was developed to help you, your family and friends learn about and better understand brain tumors. It will also help you understand how CINN’s dedicated team approaches treatment.
Brain tumors are a complex mass of abnormal cells in the brain. A difficult disease, the symptoms can be quite debilitating. The CINN Brain Tumor Program offers a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach to the care of adult and pediatric brain tumor patients. Our team of more than 200 full-time staff includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, neuro-psychologists, physical, occupational and speech therapists, social workers and clinical researchers, all who have dedicated their careers to working with brain tumor patients. We know that you realize the importance and value of this multidisciplinary approach. The specialists at CINN provide state-of-the-art treatment and are continuously refining and developing new and effective forms of early diagnosis and therapy. Along with improving technology and the gradual unfolding of scientific understanding of the basic biology of brain tumors, patients and families can look to the future with a considerable amount of hope.
