Gamma Knife Surgery

I’m sure everyone has heard of radiotherapy, but what about radiosurgery?  One of the most prevalent tumor conditions these days is brain tumor and an emerging method of radiosurgerywhich is fast gaining momentum is Gamma Knife Surgery.  Gamma Knife Surgery is the ONLY stereotactic radiosurgery system specifically approved for treating brain tumors.  This method, Leksell Gamma Knife surgery, is chosen by leading neurosurgeons all over the world because of 3 main factors that govern its accuracy:

1. Gamma Knife was designed to provide the very best radiosurgical treatment for brain tumors.
2. The radiation is delivered in a simultaneous manner from all angles.
3. The patient’s head is stationary.

Leksell Gamma Knife is unique because it is optimized specifically for the brain.  It is the obvious choice for brain tumor patients and there is even a blog dedicated to all patients who have gone through this experience, in the hope of sharing and of raising awareness on this option for brain tumor treatment.
