Brain tumor treatment in China

脑肿瘤

Brain tumor surgery is where surgeon volume matters most. China's top neurosurgery centers operate at a scale that exists almost nowhere else. Once you register there, imaging is done promptly and difficult cases go to multidisciplinary review — the system moves fast.

Beijing Tiantan Hospital is ranked #1 for neurosurgery in China (Fudan specialty ranking) and is among the highest-volume brain tumor centers in the world. Huashan (Shanghai) and Xuanwu (Beijing) complete the national top tier. If your tumor is rare, these are the teams most likely to have seen one like it — many times.
