Gamma Knife gives brain cancer patients access to top team and technology
Over the last few decades, radiation has become increasingly precise. With the advent of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), we can often target tumors with focused beams of radiation as a minimally invasive alternative to whole-brain radiation or traditional surgical excision. Among the most advanced SRS tools available is the Gamma Knife Icon, an innovative machine that delivers nearly 200 pinpoint beams of radiation that converge on a tumor and spare healthy tissue.
