At Mayo Clinic you’ll have access to state-of-the-art noninvasive imaging, such as high-resolution MRI, MR perfusion and MR spectroscopy that may help distinguish cancerous tumors from benign tumors without a biopsy.
Advanced technologies and techniques available at Mayo Clinic include:
- Computer-assisted brain surgery
- Intraoperative MRI
- Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery
- Brain stereotactic radiosurgery
- 7-Tesla MRI
7-Tesla MRI imaging 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.
With state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic experts are constantly seeking new medical knowledge and innovations for children and adults with meningioma. Our neurosurgeons have pioneered modern surgical techniques.
Mayo Clinic doctors have the expertise to be able to make accurate diagnoses and recommend appropriate treatments from the start.
You will have doctors with experience in providing a range of treatment options, which may include:
- Surgery to remove the tumor
- Radiation therapy options including proton beam at the Rochester and Phoenix locations (and coming to the Jacksonville location in 2026); intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT); and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery
- Clinical trials
- Targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy
Mayo Clinic offers a comprehensive neuro-oncology program to diagnose and treat people with tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that are outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves).
