【 摘 要 】

The Center for Neuro-Oncology of the University Hospital in Turin is hosted by the Division of Neuro-Oncology/Neurology and coordinates the Multidisciplinary Brain Tumor Board (MTB; which includes neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and hematologists). The MTB guarantees the continuity of care from diagnosis to the end of life support. The Division of Neuro-Oncology/Neurology has an in- and outpatient clinic. In addition to daily clinical practice, major activities consist of clinical trials, translational studies, and teaching. This neurology-centered model of brain tumor care is similar to other brain tumor centers in the United States and Europe.
