Not me personally, but there are certainly many neuroscientists who do. I have a number of colleagues at the Alfred hospital in Melbourne involved in this sort of work, which can include brain imaging before and after treatment (to identify tumors, see which parts of the brain are affected, and track changes throughout treatment), and in some cases neurosurgery to remove tumors (although a huge amount of care needs to be taken with this to make sure that the person won’t experience significant problems from the brain surgery).
I work with some cancer cell lines. The great thing about cancer cells is that they just keep growing, so once you have a culture of them, you have cells for ever! So I can just order a bunch of cells instead of having to find a tumor.
My cancer cells live in a flask in the incubator, I feed them and take care of them (and I occasionally talk to them)
