“This is Cancer” Podcast Explains New Brain Tumor Treatments

After minor blurred vision prompted Ellen to get an eye exam, she was surprised to learn she had a mass in the middle of her brain near the nerve connected to her left eye. A referral to Siteman Cancer Center quickly led to the diagnosis of a brain tumor. Fortunately, it was noncancerous and had a surgical solution.

In the newest episode of the Siteman podcast, “This is Cancer,” Ellen shares her experience as a patient of The Brain Tumor Center at Siteman. Washington University neurosurgeon Albert Kim, MD, PhD, director of The Brain Tumor Center and Ellen’s physician, explains minimally invasive surgery techniques and other new treatments that speed recovery for benign tumor patients like Ellen and others facing brain cancer
