Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)/Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

These highly technical procedures deliver high doses of radiation to the brain tumor while limiting the dose to normal tissue.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery combines the use of a stereotactic head frame coupled with a three-dimensional treatment planning system to precisely deliver high doses of radiation to a small target in a single fraction. This enables the delivery of a single high dose of radiation to the tumor on target while limiting the radiation dose to the adjacent normal brain

SRS has been shown to be effective in the treatment of the following tumors and benign conditions:

  • Brain tumors
  • Brain metastases
  • Meningiomas
  • Acoustic neromas (vestibular schwannomas)
  • Pituitary tumors
  • Craniopharyngiomas
  • Hermangioblastomas
  • Trigeminal neuralgia
  • Arteriovenous malformations
  • Cavernous malformations

Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery

The purpose of stereotactic body radiation therapy is to deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor while limiting the radiation dose to normal tissue. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy is generally completed in two to three days.

SBRT is effective in treating the following tumors and conditions:

  • Lung Tumors (early stage primary)
  • Lung Metastases
  • Liver Tumors
  • Liver Metastases
  • Paraspinal tumors
  • Tumors close to critical structures
