At the USC Brain Tumor Center, every decision starts with one question: If I were diagnosed with a brain tumor tomorrow, what would I want?

That perspective drives everything we do—rapid access to multiple specialists, a tumor board that delivers fast and collaborative decisions, access to the latest technologies and clinical trials, and even support for caregivers through a dedicated social worker.

By blending evidence-based medicine with holistic, patient- and family-centered care, we’re committed to not only treating brain tumors but also improving quality of life. This is the “secret sauce” behind truly excellent care. 💙
