This is actually a problem for practicing physicians as well, as knowledge transfers slowly across the industry.

You should check if the American Cancer Society or another equivalent group issues such guidelines.
I would also strongly recommend consulting an oncologist or a neurologist, who will be able to point you towards the best treatment centers in the area and the best treatment options.
