Dr. Trevino gratuated medical school from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, then completed his residency training in neurology at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont. He subsequently returned to Houston where he completed his sub-specialty fellowship training in neuro-oncology at the University of Texas - MD Anderson Cancer Center.
As a neuro-oncologist, Dr. Trevino diagnoses and treats patients with primary brain tumors, metastatic brain tumors, and primary CNS lymphoma. He believes in a comprehensive approach to cancer care and works with a team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and social workers to care for his patients. He also manages the neurologic complications of cancer and cancer treatments, including treatment of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis with intrathecal chemotherapy.
Dr. Trevino's academic interests include novel therapeutics for treatment of gliomas, immunotherapy in glioblastoma, mechanisms of treatment resistance in glioblastoma, and the neurologic complications of cancer treatment. He is excited to join the Tulane Cancer Center and open clinical trials to increase local treatment options for patients with brain tumors in Louisiana and the surrounding region.
Dr. Trevino is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology, the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, and the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (certified in Neuro-Oncology).
