Ivo W. Tremont-Lukats, M.D. Director, Neuro-Oncology — AdventHealth Medical Group, Orlando, FL PERSONAL STATEMENT My practice centers on evidence-based patient care in adult neurology, with a particular focus on neuro-oncology. My clinical work covers the full range of brain and spinal tumors — including gliomas, glioblastoma, brain metastases, and neurofibromatosis — as well as the neurological complications of cancer therapy.
