Brain tumors are the most common solid tumor in children. At the University of Minnesota we have a multidisciplinary program in place that specializes in the care of children with brain tumors.

If your child has been diagnosed with a brain tumor you are, of course, very concerned and upset. The issues are complicated and possibly confusing for your family. Please see our Questions and Answers about Pediatric Brain Tumors page for information about pediatric brain tumors, how they are treated, and the types of specialists who treat pediatric brain tumors.
