Astrocytoma - Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic neurosurgeons have pioneered surgical techniques to help treat astrocytoma, including computer-assisted brain surgery, intraoperative MRI, awake brain surgery, and LITT (laser ablation).

Mayo Clinic uses 7-Tesla MRI. This imaging system uses a stronger magnetic field to produce more detailed images of the body's interior. Detailed brain scans help Mayo Clinic care teams diagnose and treat patients with brain tumors. This advanced imaging technology is key to ensuring patients receive an accurate diagnosis to guide treatment.

Through these latest innovations and extensive expertise in treating multiple tumor types, the astrocytoma team at Mayo Clinic provides people the widest range of treatment options available.

After an evaluation with the multidisciplinary team of experts, you will have a treatment plan tailored specifically to you, which may include:

Genomic sequencing of your tumor

Functional precision oncology
