Neuro-Oncology CRT

Objectives:

  • To be a premiere clinical referral center for patients with cancer of the nervous system and neurologic complications of cancer; to provide exceptional clinical and supportive care; to provide novel therapeutic options including all phases of clinical trial
  • To be a premiere academic center for research on cancer of the nervous system; to provide an infrastructure that fosters basic science and translational research
  • Education of residents and fellows


Research Team Meetings: Thursday @ 11am - 11:30am


Neuro-Oncology Team Leader

  • Associate Professor

    Nicholas A. Blondin, MD, is Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology at Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Blondin cares for patients at Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven and the Smilow Cancer Hospital Cancer Care Center in Trumbull. He received his Medical Degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and completed his neurology residency at Yale New Haven Hospital, where he was Chief Resident in Neurology, followed by a fellowship in Neuro-Oncology at Yale New Haven Hospital. Before joining Smilow, he was the Director of the Neuro-Oncology Program at Associated Neurologists of Southern CT and the Medical Director of the St. Vincent’s Brain Tumor Center. Watch a video with Dr. Nicholas Blondin>>Dr. Blondin’s clinical expertise is in treating benign and malignant brain tumors, brain and spine metastasis, and neurological symptoms of cancer, such as seizures, cognitive impairment, headaches, gait disturbance, and weakness. Dr. Blondin is an active investigator for clinical trials for brain tumor patients through Yale Cancer Center.
