Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-surgical radiation therapy that uses many precisely focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other problems in the brain, spine, and other parts of the body. It can deliver high doses of radiation in fewer treatments than traditional radiation therapy, which can help preserve healthy tissue and reduce side effects. SRS can be used alone or with other treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
SRS can be used for different purposes, such as:
- To cure or control cancer or prevent it from coming back
- To shrink a tumor before surgery or other treatments
- To destroy any remaining cancer cells after surgery or other treatments
- To relieve symptoms or improve quality of life
SRS can be used for a wide range of conditions, such as:
- Brain tumors, such as meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, pituitary adenomas, gliomas, and metastases
- Spinal tumors, such as schwannomas, neurofibromas, and metastases
- Functional disorders, such as epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and essential tremor
- Vascular malformations, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and cavernous malformations
SRS has several advantages over conventional radiation therapy or surgery, such as:
- It is non-invasive and does not require an incision or anesthesia
- It is highly precise and accurate and can target tumors or abnormalities with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues
- It can deliver high doses of radiation in a single or few sessions, which can reduce treatment time and cost
- It can treat tumors or abnormalities that are inoperable or difficult to access by surgery
- It can reduce the risk of complications or side effects, such as bleeding, infection, swelling, or nerve damage
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a state-of-the-art radiation therapy technique that offers a non-invasive and effective option for treating tumors and other problems in the brain, spine, and other parts of the body. It uses advanced imaging and delivery systems to achieve optimal dose distribution and tumor control. It can be used for various purposes and conditions, depending on the patient's condition and treatment goals.
