Stereotactic radiation. Stereotactic radiation therapy also called stereotactic external beam radiation therapy and stereotaxic radiation therapy is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely deliver radiation to a tumor. Stereotactic body radiation therapy sbrt also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy administers very high doses of radiation using several beams of various intensities aimed at different angles to precisely target the tumor. Stereotactic radiosurgery srs is a non surgical radiation therapy used to treat functional abnormalities and small tumors of the brain.

Doctors use specialized scans to pinpoint exactly where the tumor target is located. This is because the area treated is smaller and so less healthy brain tissue is exposed to radiation. Stereotactic body radiation therapy sbrt or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy sabr delivers one to five stereotactic radiation treatments to tumors within the body excluding the brain or spine.

Despite its name radiosurgery is a treatment not a surgical procedure. This lowers the risk of side effects. Srssbrtsabr is generally best for very small tumors.

Usually you have between 1 and 8 treatments. But there are other possible side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery srs is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high power energy on a small area of the body.

Stereotactic radiotherapy srt stereotactic radiotherapy srt gives radiotherapy from many different angles around the body. The beams meet at the tumour. Stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery have fewer side effects than the standard type of external radiotherapy.

You might feel tired for some time after treatment.
