Is chemotherapy still used to treat brain tumors? The answer is yes, but treatment has come a long way.

Today, chemotherapy remains an important part of treatment for many brain tumor patients, often used alongside surgery, radiation therapy, tumor treating fields, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and clinical trials. Researchers and physicians are continually working to develop more personalized and effective treatments that improve outcomes while minimizing side effects.

The need for better treatments remains urgent!

At the USC Brain Tumor Center, our multidisciplinary team is committed to advancing brain tumor care through innovative research, leading-edge clinical trials, and individualized treatment plans designed for each patient.

Every breakthrough brings us one step closer to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

This June, we're joining the conversation around migraine and headache awareness. Did you know that the vast majority of headaches are not caused by a brain tumor? But knowing your headache patterns and when they change could be one of the most important things you do for your health.

Headache warning signs to watch for:

• A sudden, severe "thunderclap" headache unlike anything before
• Headaches that are progressively worsening over weeks
• Pain that's worse in the morning or wakes you from sleep
• Headaches paired with vision changes, weakness, or confusion
• New headaches in someone over 50 with no prior history
• Headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or seizures

If something about your headaches feels different, trust that instinct. Our team at the USC Brain Tumor Center is here to listen, evaluate, and guide you with compassion and expertise.

The USC Brain Tumor Center at Keck Medicine of USC offers GammaTile Therapy, a surgically targeted radiation treatment placed at the time of tumor removal for select patients with brain tumors. USC has been recognized as a GammaTile Center of Excellence, offering this advanced treatment option for patients with tumors such as glioblastoma, meningioma, and metastatic brain tumors.

To learn more about GammaTile and the growing evidence behind this technology, take a look at this recent Wall Street Journal article: “Radiation Device Placed in Brain Cuts Tumor Recurrence, Boosts Survival.” The article highlights new randomized clinical trial data showing that GammaTile, a small radioactive implant placed in the tumor cavity during surgery, reduced local tumor recurrence and improved two-year survival in patients with operable brain metastases (Link in Bio).
