These treatment options may be used in association with conditions treated by the Gamma Knife. In all cases, our team of physicians work closely with the referring physician to provide the most advanced patient care possible today. This comprehensive program cares for the largest number of patients with acoustic neuromas in Wisconsin. Referring physicians work with a team of neuro-otologists, neurosurgeons, audiologists, speech pathologists, neuropathologists, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists and facial reconstructive surgeons in offering the best available treatments.
Patients also benefit from ongoing research protocols.
Pituitary Tumors Tumors that involve the pituitary gland can cause visual or endocrine problems. These are managed by a team of Medical College neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, neuro-ophthalmologists and radiation oncologists. The Medical College neurosurgeons are internationally recognized as leaders in this field and have performed more surgeries for pituitary tumors than any other group in Wisconsin. Recurrent tumors or tumors that cannot completely be removed surgically are candidates for gamma knife treatment.
