A regional leader in the treatment of brain tumors, the Mercy NSI holds a weekly Radiosurgery Case Presentation Conference in order to evaluate and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for brain tumors on a case-by case basis.

At Mercy NSI, the most advanced neurovascular diagnostic techniques are utilized in order to pinpoint individual characteristics of a brain tumor, allowing NSI neurosurgeons to perform the most appropriate and up-to-date-procedures. In addition to performing standard craniotomies for tumor removal, NSI neurosurgeons are equipped to perform specialized surgical procedures if the tumor is located near vital structures such as blood vessels, nerves or the brain stem.

The Mercy NeuroScience Institute Gamma Knife Center opened in July of 2005. The undisputed Gold-standard for treating neurological lesions, the Gamma Knife allows Mercy neurosurgeons to use beams of gamma radiation to destroy brain tumors and functional brain disorders without incisions or bleeding.
