Choice of hospital
What is the best hospital in my case?
When choosing a hospital, you can consult your GP.
You can take the following into account:
- The number of tumors treated annually in a particular hospital, a reflection of experience. Of course, these figures can also be low in a reference hospital if the condition is very rare.
- Is there a specialized multidisciplinary team present?
- The availability of specialized infrastructure.
- Specialized intensive care unit with state-of-the-art equipment
- Follow-up/aftercare of the disease and rehabilitation
- Participation in clinical studies
- Contribute to national and international brain tumor registries
- Do the doctors have contact with the European Reference Network?
- does the team regularly attend further education and training in the field of neuro-oncology and neurosurgery?
- Sufficient patient support and information provision (e.g. brochures)
- Collaboration with a patient association
- Presence of a neuropsychologist
-For children, it is best to contact a specialized hospital.
