About Me

Ken Tatebe, MD, PhD, is a radiation oncologist at RUSH. He earned his medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and completed his residency in radiation oncology at the University of Chicago Medical Center. He also serves as the clinical director of stereotactic radiosurgery and the neuro-oncology research director at RUSH.

 

Tatebe specializes in radiation treatments for a variety of tumors. He mainly focuses on tumors of the brain and spine, including those that have spread from other parts of the body. He also treats arteriovenous malformations and trigeminal neuralgia, as well as many benign tumors, including meningiomas, schwannomas and neuromas.

 

Working closely with other neurosurgery and neuro-oncology specialists, Tatebe offers comprehensive care for his patients. His goal is to provide each patient with information about their options and help guide them through the care plan that will work best for them. His team makes sure patients are well taken care of and that they know what to expect from their treatment.

 

When he is not working with patients, Tatebe enjoys running, sailing and cooking with his family. He is always finding and learning about new interests, especially from his family and patients.
