Coordinated, Interdisciplinary Care in the Rush Spine Tumor Clinic with John O’Toole, MD, and Ken Tatabe, MD

With expertise in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology and palliative care, clinicians in the Rush Spine Tumor Clinic are able to provide patients with comprehensive, tailored treatment plans when they have benign or malignant spinal tumors. Depending on the location and size of the tumor, as well as the patient’s age and overall health, the treatments that Rush provides can help patients regain a better quality of life by lessening their symptoms, such as mobility and memory challenges, pain, speech difficulties and seizures. John O’Toole, MD, MS, is a neurosurgeon and the co-director of neurosciences service line at Rush, as well as the co-director of the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Spine Tumor Clinic. Ken Tatebe, MD, is the clinical director of stereotactic radiosurgery, the neuro-oncology research director and is a radiation oncologist at Rush. “It can be a struggle for patients to obtain the best care at multiple different institutions, especially when their care providers may not all be on the same page for treatment. We strongly feel that providing this kind of interdisciplinary care under one roof really results in the most optimal treatment plans for patients,” explains Dr. O’Toole.
