Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this work was to detail the interdisciplinary awake craniotomy program model at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center integrating speech-language pathology and neuropsychology in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative settings to monitor and maximize expressive and receptive language skills among patients undergoing brain tumor resection. Conclusions: This report outlines the MD Anderson clinical protocols and procedures, with focus on the clinical methods of the speech-language pathologist in pre-, intra-, and postoperative interventions. Case examples are summarized to illustrate dynamic features of implementing this protocol. An intradisciplinary team approach to treatment of patients with brain tumor and specifically those undergoing awake craniotomy may improve care and quality of life.
