Abstract
This paper examines the evolving role of neurologists within multidisciplinary neuro-oncology teams and identifies key areas where their expertise contributes to patient management and outcomes. A comprehensive review of current literature and clinical practices related to the involvement of neurologists in neuro-oncology teams was conducted. Interviews with key stakeholders in neuro-oncology and analysis of case studies provided additional insights. Neurologists play a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with brain tumors and other neurological manifestations of cancer. Their involvement enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves management of neurological symptoms, and contributes to personalized treatment plans. The integration of neurologists into neuro-oncology teams significantly benefits patient care. Future directions include expanding training programs and developing standardized protocols to optimize their contributions.
