Brain Tumor Expertise + Technology = Exceptional Outcomes
Mayfield neurosurgeons treated more than 1,800 patients with brain tumors in 2023, delivering the most advanced techniques to treat and remove both malignant and benign tumors. We also provide expertise in stereotactic radiosurgery to safely treat tumor fragments with targeted radiation.
Through our partnerships with leading health systems, you will receive coordinated care with leading-edge facilities and critical care units at the best location for you.
We participate in regular Tumor Board conferences where our surgeons collaborate with specialists including neurologists, neuroradiologists, pathologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to review cases, so we can recommend the best treatment path for every individual patient.
Experts in the care of:
Mayfield physicians see the highest volume of brain tumor patients in the Greater Cincinnati region. Studies show better outcomes and fewer complications at high-volume (>25 cases), multidisciplinary practices.1,2 Over the past 31 years we've seen 47,138 brain tumor patients and performed 18,423 procedures.
In 2023 we saw 1,836 patients with brain tumors and performed 655 procedures. In context, nearly a quarter of people newly diagnosed with a brain tumor in Ohio3— and 8 out of 10 in Greater Cincinnati — seek care at Mayfield.
More people trust Mayfield's years of experience and the comfort of receiving care right where you live and at the hospital you prefer.
