La neurocirugía oncológica podría considerarse una subespecialidad médica dedicada al diagnóstico, tratamiento quirúrgico y seguimiento de tumores primarios y metastásicos del sistema nervioso central (cerebro y médula espinal) en pacientes de todas las edades. El neurocirujano oncológico requiere, para llevar a efecto este propósito, usar de forma objetiva técnicas neuroquirúrgicas y procedimientos que se adecuan al campo de la oncología; es decir, en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los tumores participa un equipo multidisciplinario que involucra a neurocirujanos, neurólogos, oncólogos y radioterapeutas para abordar tanto el cáncer como sus complicaciones neurológicas, utilizando técnicas avanzadas de imagen, genética y terapia personalizada.
