About the Clinic

Receiving a diagnosis of a brain tumor can be frightening. The mission of the M3BTC is to combat this fear with compassion, expertise and cutting-edge research. At the M3BTC, patients with brain tumors can be seen by expert physicians in the three specialties most crucial for successful treatment: Neurosurgery, Neuro-Oncology and Radiation Oncology.

Together, we work strategically to ensure personalized treatment recommendations that will maximize the benefits for each individual patient. Whether a patient has a new diagnosis of cancer or is seeking a second opinion after prior treatment, an appointment at the M3BTC will allow patients to access the brain tumor expertise and clinical trial options only available at Michigan Medicine.

More Information

For Patients

Proper treatment of brain tumors requires the combined expertise of several medical and surgical specialists — specifically a Neurosurgeon, Neuro-Oncologist, and Radiation Oncologist.

Our clinic is dedicated to caring for a wide range of patients including the newly diagnosed, those previously treated for brain tumors, those who may have recently been discharged from the hospital and those interested in the advanced therapies available only at Michigan Medicine. We also have access to state-of-the-art clinical trials.

If you have a recent diagnosis of a brain tumor, if you are seeking a second opinion, or if you have a previous diagnosis and want to inquire about potential new treatment options, the specialists at Michigan Medicine are available with unique expertise and treatment options to meet your needs.

Patient Resources

For Clinicians

Brain tumors are complex and often require management by multiple specialists including Neurosurgeons, Neuro-Oncologists, and Radiation Oncologists. Historically, separate clinics within Michigan Medicine have provided the different specialty services for adult patients with brain tumors, requiring multiple referrals and separate patient appointments.

Our goal is to provide timely, efficient and comprehensive evaluation by a Neurosurgeon, Neuro-Oncologist, and Radiation Oncologist through a single point of entry. This will offer your patient an opportunity to be evaluated for eligibility for any of our clinical trials and provide a thorough consultation, including immediate access to our Brain Tumor Board discussion. Often the recommendations can be coordinated by the patient's local specialists.

This multidisciplinary team approach ensures that your patient receives comprehensive evaluations and timely recommendations during their appointments at our clinic.
