Radiosurgery

a non-invasive procedure that uses high-energy radiation to precisely treat tumors or lesions without surgery

Examples

1. Once radiosurgery treatment has destroyed the tumor’s cells, the body’s natural cleaning mechanism kicks in.

2. Radiosurgery depends on the use of multiple beams.

3. So patients with recurrent tumors may have limitations with future radiosurgery treatments.

4. For several types of brain tumors, radiosurgery can be as successful as traditional brain surgery at destroying cancerous cells.
