The ANS team provides comprehensive surgical
management of patients with a variety of brain tumors.
Adjuvant therapies may include chemotherapy, radiosurgery and whole
brain radiation. A team of top medical specialists meets monthly to
develop an individual treatment plan for each patient. This team of
experts is composed of neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-oncologists,
radiation oncologists, pathologists, medical oncologists and neuroradiologists.
The recently established Brain Tumor Center of New Jersey
is directed
by Michael Gruber, MD (neuro-oncology) from New York University
(NYU) and is based at the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute. Dr. Gruber is a
nationally recognized clinical investigator involved
in chemotherapy trials for patients with brain tumors. He is available
3 days per week at Overlook Hospital; this provides our patients with
premier medical care and more time with their family and friends without
commuting into New York City.
