Single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an established standard for radiation therapy of brain metastases although recent developments indicate that multi-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) results in lower radiation necrosis especially for larger metastases, and the same or even better ...
But at the intersection of all the beams, the energy dose is strong enough to destroy the tumor. Step 4: position the patient Once the radiation machine is calibrated and prepared for your specific treatment plan, you will lie on the table. The mask is placed over your face and secured...
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone achieves the same survival compared with SRS + whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), but the results are conflicting for local control. WBRT lowers the risk of cranial distant recurrence compared to local tumor therapies (SRS and surgery). SRS alone leads to...
Metastatic disease to the brain occurs in a significant percentage of patients with cancer and can limit survival and worsen quality of life. Glucocorticoids and whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) have been the mainstay of intracranial treatments, while craniotomy for tumor resection has been the ...
Planning for SRT Stereotactic Radiation Therapy does require planning for the patient is ready to begin treatments. During a planning appointment, a radiation specialist will take scans to determine: How much radiation will need to be delivered to the tumor ...

“It only took about 35 minutes, and I was able to listen to music I’d chosen. The machine is quite large, spacious, not like an MRI scanner. I was told that it might feel warm around the site where the radiation beams were entering my head, but I didn’t feel...
