Neurosurgeon for Glioblastoma resection

Posted by kara81 @kara81, Jun 16 6:56am

My father (53 M) has a Glioblastoma at the junction of the posterior body and splenium of corpus callosum. He had a biopsy at Brown university in Rhode Island. Does anyone know a neurosurgeon who can safely perform a resection as the surgeons at brown as well as Sloan Kettering who we consulted with state that it is risky. We are hoping to find a neurosurgeon who can perform it without any complications.
