Brain Tumor Program
The Cooper Neurological Institute has established the Brain Tumor Treatment Center as a multidisciplinary treatment and research program. Located adjacent to our world-class research, hospital, and operating rooms, the CNI provides instant access to uncompromised clinical care, offering hope for patients with all stages of brain tumors, including brain cancer.
The Cooper Neurological Institute offers a comprehensive approach to tumors of the brain and surrounding structures. It is unique in its multidisciplinary, collaborative patient centered philosophy which keeps the patient and treating physicians constantly in touch with the diagnosis, treatment and progress as complex care is rendered.

The center includes:
- A multi-disciplinary brain tumor center offering patients access to a team of caregivers in one convenient location

Only Cooper offers you the most advanced Gamma Knife treatment — brain surgery without incisions.
Cooper is one of only a few hospitals in the United State to offer the revolutionary Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™ technology, the most advanced brain cancer treatment option available.
The Gamma Knife treats malignant and nonmalignant brain tumors with a single treatment of concentrated, precisely targeted beams of radiation aggressively attacking the tumor without harming any surrounding healthy tissue.
The procedure is safe, painless, and requires no incisions. Most patients return home the same day as their treatment and resume their normal activities after just a few days.
