Lenox Hill Hospital Brain Tumor Center

The research arm of the Lenox Hill Brain Tumor Center—the Laboratory for Brain Tumor Biology and Therapy at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research—draws experts from multiple disciplines to participate in leading-edge research of brain and spinal cord tumors. Our neuroscientists use discoveries in the lab to create new treatments for patients through a robust clinical trial program. Our doctors run the Brain Tumor Biotech Center at the Feinstein Institutes, which is the only biotech center in the world dedicated to accelerating treatments for patients with brain tumors.

Our patients have access to clinical research studies offering novel, state-of-the-art therapies developed by our own physicians, as well as those that are done in collaboration with other sites.

The Brain Tumor Biotech Center is an interactive hub for scientists, clinicians and biotech companies in the neuro-oncology space to join forces and accelerate the delivery of novel drugs to patients living with brain tumors.

Neuro-oncology studies brain and spinal cord tumors, which are life-threatening—the median life expectancy for a glioblastoma patient, for example, is 15 months after diagnosis. In most cases of brain cancer, treatment options are largely limited to surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Feinstein Institutes researchers are working to discover new and better treatments for patients by designing and testing new drugs and drug delivery methods.
