• To discuss future perspectives for therapies that complement surgical interventions.
• To emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary brain tumor boards.

Main Methods:

• Review of current standards in neuro-oncology.
• Analysis of future therapeutic perspectives.
• Emphasis on the role of multidisciplinary team coordination.

Main Results:

• Effective brain tumor management necessitates a coordinated, interdisciplinary strategy.
• Multidisciplinary brain tumor boards are crucial for optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.
• Current and future therapies aim to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing neurological damage.

Conclusions:

• The complexity of central nervous system tumors demands integrated care.
• Future advancements in therapy modalities will further complement surgical treatments.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration is paramount for improving patient outcomes in neuro-oncology.
