Advanced Treatment Options for Skull Base Tumors
Depending on your condition and the location of your tumor, UPMC offers two preferred treatment options:
- Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA)—Pioneered at UPMC, EEA is an innovative surgical technique that removes brain tumors and lesions through the nose.
- Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery — this painless treatment uses radiation beams to target tumors and lesions with no incisions.
Our team works to find the technique — or combination of techniques — that offers you the greatest chance of returning to normal life.
