The Brain Tumor Center has an organic cooperative system with 27 medical staff from 11 departments, including Neurosurgery, Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Ophthalmology. Through this, it aims for accurate brain tumor diagnosis and prompt treatment.

The main treatment areas include pituitary adenoma, glioblastoma, trigeminal schwannoma, and brain metastasis. The center operates specialized clinics tailored to the characteristics of brain tumors, such as the Meningioma Clinic and Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic.

The Brain Tumor Center plans to maximize treatment effectiveness through techniques such as navigation systems, fluorescent staining brain tumor surgery, and linear accelerator radiation therapy. At the same time, since multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment are conducted in a one-stop manner, the hospital expects to proactively respond to brain tumors, where rapid diagnosis and treatment are crucial.

Kim Sang-dae, head of the Brain Tumor Center, said, "We are the first hospital under Korea University Medical Center to open a Brain Tumor Center," adding, "Through the Brain Tumor Center, we have established a strengthened multidisciplinary diagnosis and a systematic treatment system."

Kwon Soon-young, director of Korea University Ansan Hospital, stated, "We will introduce Gamma Knife radiosurgery equipment that can treat brain tumors without craniotomy in the future to provide the best treatment services in the southwestern Gyeonggi region."

Meanwhile, about 40 medical staff, including Director Kwon Soon-young, Brain Tumor Center Head Kim Sang-dae, and Neurosurgery Professor Lim Dong-jun, attended the opening ceremony that day.
