Busy Philipps reveals diagnosis and surgery for rare brain tumor

Busy Philipps brain tumor oligodendroglioma James Van Der Beek medical diagnosis

Actress Busy Philipps has revealed that she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, a discovery made during a full-body MRI scan in February 2026. The scan was performed the day after the death of her former 'Dawson’s Creek' co-star, James Van Der Beek.

Philipps, 47, was diagnosed with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare and slow-growing tumor measuring approximately 2.6 centimeters in the frontal lobe. Despite having no prior symptoms, the scan identified the lesion. She underwent a five-hour surgery on March 2 to remove the tumor, which successfully avoided the need for chemotherapy or radiation. However, she required a second surgery in April to treat a staph infection at the incision site.

Philipps noted that she initially hesitated to undergo the screening, but was encouraged by her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, to proceed. She expressed gratitude for the early detection, stating she is 'grateful to be alive.'
