On World Cancer Day, we’re spotlighting a tool that has changed what brain tumor treatment can look like.

Gamma Knife is available at Atlas Ambulatory Neurosurgery Center (ANSC™), located just behind our Williamsville office. It's a highly precise form of radiation that can treat certain brain & spine tumors without making an incision.

Using hundreds of focused beams of radiation that converge on a single target, Gamma Knife can treat tumors while sparing surrounding healthy brain tissue.

Treatment is outpatient and carefully planned with MRI and CT imaging, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and neuroradiologists.

Gamma Knife may be part of care for tumors such as:
🧠 Metastatic brain tumors
🧠 Gliomas
🧠 Meningiomas
🧠 Pituitary tumors
🧠 Craniopharyngiomas
🧠 Skull base tumors

Brain tumor care is never one-size-fits-all. Technologies like Gamma Knife expand options, reduce risk, and help more patients access advanced treatment close to home.

UB Neurosurgery and the Atlas Ambulatory Neurosurgery Center (ANSC™) are advancing brain health research by applying artificial intelligence to better understand intracranial aneurysm risk.

In 2025, UBNS and research partners were awarded a first-of-its-kind grant to launch an AI-driven, multi-omics initiative focused on anticipating aneurysm rupture risk and supporting earlier intervention.

Turns out your head position matters more than we thought.

New research found that simply rotating the head can increase pressure inside the skull, and sometimes, within seconds. This happens when veins in the neck get temporarily compressed, slowing how blood drains from the brain.

Why does this matter? Brain pressure isn’t static. It changes with movement, posture, and daily activity. And that insight could help improve how doctors measure and treat pressure-related conditions.

Your body is dynamic. Science is finally catching up.

After spinal fusion surgery, maintaining healthy alignment above the surgical area is critical to long term stability and recovery.

A recent editorial in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine explores how muscle strength and bone quality may influence how the spine responds after surgery, including the development of proximal junctional kyphosis.

Rather than focusing on surgical hardware alone, this perspective highlights the role of overall musculoskeletal support in post surgical outcomes.

These insights are helping clinicians think more holistically about spine care, from surgical planning to recovery.

The future of neurosurgery is already taking shape.

UBNS-led research is challenging traditional care models and advancing how neurological conditions are treated, from complex neurovascular procedures performed in outpatient settings to AI-driven research aimed at predicting brain aneurysm risk before crisis occurs.

As we lean into 2026, these efforts offer a glimpse into the next standard of care.
