Happy Fourth of July from the USC Brain Tumor Center! Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day. 🇺🇸

At the USC Brain Tumor Center, every patient receives a personalized treatment plan designed around their specific tumor, the latest scientific advances, and what matters most to them and their family. Our multidisciplinary team works together to evaluate every detail, ensuring each patient has access to expert, individualized care, innovative treatment options, and the support needed throughout their journey. Because treating a brain tumor isn’t just about fighting a disease, it’s about caring for the individual person. #BrainTumor #BrainCancer #PersonalizedMedicine  #BrainTumorAwareness #PatientCenteredCare #KeckMedicineUSC #BrainTumorResearch

At the USC Brain Tumor Center we believe that it’s more than advanced treatments and cutting-edge technology. It starts with trust, communication, a multidisciplinary team, and strong family support working together to help patients navigate every step of their journey. At the USC Brain Tumor Center, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurologists, researchers, nurses, and support staff collaborate to provide personalized care designed around each patient’s unique needs. Because the best outcomes happen when expertise, compassion, and support come together. Because no one should face a brain tumor alone. 🩶 #BrainTumorCare #PatientCenteredCare #BrainTumorAwareness #BrainCancerResearch #MultidisciplinaryCare #CaregiverSupport #FamilySupport

Is chemotherapy still used to treat brain tumors? The answer is yes, but treatment has come a long way. Today, chemotherapy remains an important part of treatment for many brain tumor patients, often used alongside surgery, radiation therapy, tumor treating fields, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and clinical trials. Researchers and physicians are continually working to develop more personalized and effective treatments that improve outcomes while minimizing side effects.   The need for better treatments remains urgent! At the USC Brain Tumor Center, our multidisciplinary team is committed to advancing brain tumor care through innovative research, leading-edge clinical trials, and individualized treatment plans designed for each patient. Every breakthrough brings us one step closer to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure. #Chemotherapy #BrainCancerResearch #BrainTumorCenter #Glioblastoma #BrainTumorTreatment #ClinicalTrials  #USCBrainTumorCenter #BrainTumorAwareness #CancerResearch

This June, we're joining the conversation around migraine and headache awareness. Did you know that the vast majority of headaches are not caused by a brain tumor? But knowing your headache patterns and when they change could be one of the most important things you do for your health. Headache warning signs to watch for: • A sudden, severe "thunderclap" headache unlike anything before • Headaches that are progressively worsening over weeks • Pain that's worse in the morning or wakes you from sleep • Headaches paired with vision changes, weakness, or confusion • New headaches in someone over 50 with no prior history • Headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or seizures If something about your headaches feels different, trust that instinct. Our team at the USC Brain Tumor Center is here to listen, evaluate, and guide you with compassion and expertise. #MigraineAndHeadacheAwarenessMonth #HeadacheAwareness #BrainHealth #BrainTumorAwareness #USCBrainTumorCenter #KeckMedicineOfUSC #KnowTheSigns #BrainTumorCare

Today, on World Brain Tumor Day, the USC Brain Tumor Center stands with patients, families, caregivers, physicians, researchers, and advocates around the world who are impacted by brain tumors. Every diagnosis is personal. Every patient deserves hope. And every breakthrough begins with awareness, compassion, and the commitment to keep moving research and care forward. At the USC Brain Tumor Center, we are dedicated to advancing innovative treatments, expanding clinical trials, supporting patients and families, and working toward a future where brain tumors can be treated more effectively and one day cured. Today and every day, we honor the strength of our patients, the love of their families, and the dedication of all who continue the fight. #WorldBrainTumorDay #BrainTumorAwareness #BrainTumorResearch #HopeThroughResearch

The USC Brain Tumor Center at Keck Medicine of USC offers GammaTile Therapy, a surgically targeted radiation treatment placed at the time of tumor removal for select patients with brain tumors. USC has  been recognized as a GammaTile Center of Excellence, offering this advanced treatment option for patients with tumors such as glioblastoma, meningioma, and metastatic brain tumors. To learn more about GammaTile and the growing evidence behind this technology, take a look at this recent Wall Street Journal article: “Radiation Device Placed in Brain Cuts Tumor Recurrence, Boosts Survival.” The article highlights new randomized clinical trial data showing that GammaTile, a small radioactive implant placed in the tumor cavity during surgery, reduced local tumor recurrence and improved two-year survival in patients with operable brain metastases (Link in Bio). For referrals or more information, call (844) 33-BRAIN / (844) 332-7246.

June is Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, support patients and families, and highlight the urgent need for continued research and improved treatment options for those affected by cancer that has spread to the brain and spine. #BrainMets #CancerAwareness #BrainCancerResearch #BrainMetastases

🔬Today, on Clinical Trials Day, we honor the extraordinary role clinical trials play in advancing medicine and creating new possibilities for patients and families. 🔬 Behind every breakthrough is a clinical trial—and behind every clinical trial is a dedicated community of researchers, physicians, coordinators, and, most importantly, patients. Clinical trials are where hope meets evidence. Where innovation is tested, discoveries take shape, and the future of care begins. We are deeply grateful to the patients who participate in clinical research, to the teams who make these studies possible, and to all those committed to pushing science forward in pursuit of better treatments and better outcomes. At the USC Brain Tumor Center, we remain steadfast in our commitment to continuously expand our clinical trials portfolio and accelerate research efforts until there is a cure. #ClinicalTrialsDay #ClinicalResearch #InnovationInMedicine #BrainTumorResearch #ClinicalTrials #USCBrainTumorCenter #HopeThroughResearch
