(surgery to the brain or body) to remove certain tumors. Instead, radiation treatment
serves so substitute in selected
patients for open surgery.
The dose of radiation treatment is
precisely focused on the tumor,
sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This is a substantial

tumors of the brain, spinal cord and
other structures. Often stereotactic
radiosurgery is done in coordination with
chemotherapy as well.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery can also be
performed on tumors of the liver, lungs
and spinal cord. CCCNF has a
precision laser tracking system and our
advanced technology allows treatment for
tumors that move with breathing. |
