Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)

This therapy delivers a high dose of radiation during a small number of treatments. We use SRS to target tumors in sensitive areas of the body like the brain and spinal cord. We deliver the radiation with millimeter precision to spare the rest of the brain or spinal cord from high-dose radiation. Sometimes, only a single treatment may be necessary. Occasionally, if the tumor is large, we may need additional treatments to decrease side effects, a process called fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT).
