Your general practitioner or medical specialist can refer you to the Radboudumc's center of expertise in neuro-oncology. But you can also contact our center yourself; for your treatment or a second opinion. If you have already been examined at another center, we will ask for the results and other available information about you.Your visit
Your first contact with our center of expertise can either be in the neurology department or the neurosurgery department. During your first visit, you will always have a consultation with both the medical specialist and a nursing specialist.In addition to medical knowledge, we believe it is essential that patients have access to personal assistance. You can, therefore, contact the nursing specialist throughout the entire care and treatment process.
Your first visit
For your first visit, it is important to bring your medication list with you. Your referring physician has already sent the referral letter and the scans, or (if you have requested a second opinion) you should send them yourself well in advance.Bringing someone along
We recommend that you take a family member or friend with you to the hospital; two heads are better than one.Multidisciplinary care

They work closely together and meet each week in the form of the neuro-oncological tumorboard. During this meeting, they discuss patients with a variety of neuro-oncological problems and determine a treatment plan. They will discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan with you.Radboudumc's neuro-oncology tumorboard is a multidisciplinary working group that is also active at a national and international level. The board also conducts (international) scientific research to improve care and treatment for patients with brain tumors.
