Neuro-oncology is a subspecialty attracting physicians from medical disciplines such as neurology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, oncology, and radiotherapy. It deals with diagnosis and management of primary brain tumors, as well as metastatic and non-metastatic neurological manifestations that frequently affect cancer patients including brain metastases, paraneoplastic syndromes and neurological complications of cancer treatment. A neuro-oncology unit was established in Davidoff Cancer Center at Rabin Medical Center. It provides a multidisciplinary team approach for management of brain tumors and services, such as expert outpatient clinics and inpatient consultations for the departments of oncology, hematology, bone marrow transplantation and other departments in the Rabin Medical Center. In addition, expert consultation is frequently provided to other hospitals that treat cancer patients with neurological manifestations. The medical disciplines that closely collaborate for the daily management of neuro-oncology patients include radiotherapy, hematology, oncology, neuro-surgery, neuro-radiology and neuro-pathology. The neuro-oncology center is also involved in clinical and laboratory research conducted in collaboration with researchers in Israel and abroad. The new service contributes substantially to the improved care of cancer patients and to the advance of research topics in the field of neuro-oncology.
神经肿瘤学是一个吸引着来自神经病学、神经外科、儿科学、肿瘤学和放射治疗学等医学学科医生的亚专业。它涉及原发性脑肿瘤的诊断和管理，以及经常影响癌症患者的转移性和非转移性神经表现，包括脑转移、副肿瘤综合征和癌症治疗的神经并发症。拉宾医疗中心大卫多夫癌症中心设立了一个神经肿瘤学科室。它为脑肿瘤的管理提供多学科团队方法和服务，比如为拉宾医疗中心的肿瘤学、血液学、骨髓移植及其他科室提供专家门诊和住院会诊。此外，还经常为其他治疗有神经表现的癌症患者的医院提供专家咨询。在神经肿瘤学患者日常管理中密切协作的医学学科包括放射治疗学、血液学、肿瘤学、神经外科、神经放射学和神经病理学。该神经肿瘤学中心还参与与以色列国内外研究人员合作开展的临床和实验室研究。这项新服务为改善癌症患者的护理以及神经肿瘤学领域研究课题的推进做出了重大贡献。
