Dr. Cao specializes in caring for brain and spine tumors, including glioma and glioblastoma. She also has expertise in cancer that has spread (metastasized) to parts of the central nervous system (CNS), such as the brain and the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord (leptomeninges). She is committed to providing the highest quality care while prioritizing the goals and needs of her patients. She offers compassionate treatment and cancer management, with deep knowledge of tumor therapies and neurological complications of cancer.
Dr. Cao’s research focuses on improving the identification and treatment of brain tumors and metastases. She has investigated factors that impact the development of brain metastases from breast cancer, as well as treatment for leptomeningeal metastases from breast cancer. She has studied combination treatments for glioblastoma, a type of malignant brain tumor. She is also interested in novel neuroimaging techniques for both primary and metastatic CNS tumors.
Dr. Cao has published her research in peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of Neuro-Oncology; Neurology; and the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics. She has also written a book chapter on common early symptoms of CNS metastases.
Dr. Cao has presented her findings nationally at annual meetings of the American Academy of Neurology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Society for Neuro-Oncology. She has also spoken on panels and at regional conferences, including the Annual NeuroTech Convention of Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics.
Dr. Cao is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Society for Neuro-Oncology. -
