About the Center

The UT MD Anderson Cancer Center treats many patients with tumors that have benign characteristics, such as Acoustic Neuromas. Our highly-regarded multidisciplinary approach brings together a team of neurotologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiotherapists who have expertise in all forms of tumor management: observation, radiosurgery, and microsurgical excision. Treatment is tailored to each patient's needs and desires and is approved by a multidiscplinary board. Our team includes rehabilitation specialists and therapists, should these services be required.
