Treatment Procedures
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Also known as: SRS, Gamma Knife, Radiosurgery
Definition
A highly precise radiation treatment delivering large doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in a single or few sessions, commonly used for brain metastases.
Detailed Explanation
Despite its name, radiosurgery doesn't involve incisions. It uses focused radiation beams to destroy tumors with sub-millimeter precision. Gamma Knife and Cyberknife are common platforms. It's ideal for brain metastases, allowing systemic therapy to continue without interruption.
