Annette G. Strauss Center for Neuro-Oncology

The Annette G. Strauss Center for Neuro-Oncology is the cornerstone of UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Neuro-Oncology Program.

Our multidisciplinary team, dedicated to the care of patients with tumors of the nervous system, includes Neuro-Oncology, Neurosurgery, Radiation Oncology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neuropathology, Pharmacy, Dedicated Nursing, and Support Staff.

What we do

We provide comprehensive care for patients with brain tumors by collaborating with a patient care team to make real-time decisions for each unique patient. Over the last 12 months, our neuro-oncology clinic has overseen 3670 patient visits, and 350 new patients, and our neurosurgery colleagues operated on approximately 700 patients. Always striving to improve patient care and outcomes, we enrolled >35 patients in clinical trials within the last year.

Collaborations

We partner with pediatric neuro-oncologists at Children’s Health in Dallas to manage pediatric CNS tumors diagnosed in adult patients. Additionally, we engage with other service lines within the Simmons Cancer Center, such as Palliative Care, Apheresis, the infusion center, and other medical oncology subspecialties to provide expedited patient-centric care.
