The Mayo Clinic Section of Neuro-Oncology has six specialists who
evaluate and treat patients with primary and secondary tumors of
the brain, meninges and spine, and neurologic complications of systemic
cancer. Five specialists are located in Rochester and one at Mayo
Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla.
Research activities are conducted at all three sites. The Neuro-Oncology
group works closely with the Department of Neurologic Surgery, Medical
Oncology and Radiation Oncology and is actively involved in treatment
protocols as a member of the North Central Cancer Treatment Group
(NCCTG).
An active Neuro-Oncology Program is comprised of more than 40 faculty
from ten departments, including the Department of Neurology.
Advisers
You will be assigned a faculty adviser who can provide comprehensive
educational advice and personal support. The adviser also serves
as a contact point, introducing you and your family to Mayo Clinic
and the communities in which you will train.
Visiting Professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present
their work during morning and late afternoon lectures. Residents
and fellows are encouraged to take full advantage of these opportunities
to interact with experts from other academic centers and are relieved
from clinical assignments to do so.
