D. Anderson Cancer Center. She has a special interest in primary and metastatic tumors of the brain and spine.<\/p>\n<p>\nUtilizing special imaging and surgical techniques, Dr. Aizenberg is able to resect tumors in eloquent areas of the brain in ways to help prevent neurologic deficits. By individualized care, the best approach is determined for each patient so that they have maximal outcome. She works closely with radiation oncologists, neuro-oncologists, oncologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuropsychologists to provide the most comprehensive care for oncology patients.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith this multi-disciplinary approach, comprehensive neuro-oncology care can be provided for patients with central nervous system tumors. With this in mind, Dr. Aizenberg was instrumental in establishing the Brain and Spine Cancer Center at The Nebraska Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>\nScience Cafe is a free educational event sponsored by UNMC and other groups to increase the population&rsquo;s science literacy.
