The Jewish Hospital — Mercy Health Brain Tumor Center

The Brain Tumor Center at The Jewish Hospital - Mercy Health offers hope to patients and their families who are facing the diagnosis of a brain tumor. The Center provides comprehensive and compassionate state-of-the-art care for residents of the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky region and beyond. The Brain Tumor Center attracts patients from across the country and is an important referral destination for patients seen at Mercy Health’s 23 hospitals throughout Ohio and Kentucky.

Comprehensive brain tumor care

The Brain Tumor Center at The Jewish Hospital - Mercy Health has partnered with Mayfield Brain & Spine, the region’s largest neurosurgical practice, and OHC (Oncology Hematology Care), the region’s largest oncology practice. The Center comprises 22 physicians in 8 medical specialties, including neurosurgery, otolaryngology (ENT), radiation oncology and medical oncology, as well as highly trained nurse practitioners, registered nurses and medical physicists. It features the region’s only fellowship-trained team of physicians who treat tumors of the skull base.

  • Skull base tumors
  • Meningioma
  • Pituitary tumors
  • Acoustic neuroma
  • Lymphoma
  • Brain lesions
  • Spinal tumors

A patient’s treatment depends on the type, size and location of his or her tumor. The Center’s specialists meet at a bi-weekly Tumor Board Conference to discuss complex cases and develop a recommended treatment path for each individual patient.

Access to a full spectrum of cutting-edge treatments

The Jewish Hospital includes the only Gamma Knife® ICON™ in the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky region. The ICON enables the team to treat virtually any location in the brain with ultra-high precision and minimal effect on healthy tissue.

The frameless “mask” option enables treatment of large lesions.
