Tania Kaprealian, MD

Dr. Tania Kaprealian's research interests are in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumors both benign and malignant in both in adults and pediatrics. Her current projects are looking at innovative ways to use stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of these tumors. In addition, she has the first clinical protocol for the use of 4pi radiotherapy, a novel, high precision radiation therapy delivery technique devised at UCLA, for the treatment of recurrent glioblastomas.
