At Sakra Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating neuro-oncological conditions—tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Our multidisciplinary team of neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, and radiation specialists provides cutting-edge treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Neuro-oncological conditions are disorders involving tumors in the nervous system, categorized by type and location:

Conditions We Treat

1. Primary Brain Tumors

These tumors originate in the brain and can be benign or malignant:

• Gliomas: Astrocytomas (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas.
• Meningiomas: Tumors of the brain's protective lining.
• Medulloblastomas: Common in children.
• Schwannomas: Vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma).
• Craniopharyngiomas: Tumors near the pituitary gland.
• Pituitary Tumors: Includes prolactinomas and growth hormone-secreting adenomas.
• Pineal Region Tumors: Pineocytomas, pineoblastomas, and germ cell tumors (e.g., germinomas).
2. Spinal Cord Tumors
• Intramedullary Tumors: Ependymomas and astrocytomas (within the spinal cord).
• Extramedullary Tumors: Schwannomas, meningiomas, and neurofibromas (outside the spinal cord).
3. Peripheral Nerve Tumors
• Schwannomas and neurofibromas (associated with neurofibromatosis).
• Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs).
4. Secondary (Metastatic) Brain or Spinal Tumors
• Tumors spreading from other organs, including lung, breast, melanoma, renal, and gastrointestinal cancers.
5. Hereditary Neuro-Oncological Conditions
• Neurofibromatosis: NF1 (optic gliomas) and NF2 (vestibular schwannomas).
• Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: Associated with subependymal giant cell astrocytomas.
• Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome: Hemangioblastomas of the brain and spine.
• Li-Fraumeni Syndrome: Increased glioma risk.
6. Rare or Specialized Tumors
• Chordomas, choroid plexus tumors, hemangioblastomas, and primary CNS lymphoma.
• Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas (PXAs).
7. Tumors Affecting Neurovascular or Functional Areas
• Cavernous sinus tumors and skull base tumors.
• Sellar and parasellar tumors (e.g., pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas).
8. Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes
• Neurological disorders are caused by cancer-induced immune responses, such as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and optic neuropathy.
