including prostate and gynecologic cancer , and offers a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment option .
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
For patients with brain tumors or other central nervous system disorders , we offer stereotactic radiosurgery ( SRS ), a non-invasive treatment that delivers high doses of radiation to precisely defined targets in the brain while sparing nearby healthy tissue . SRS is often used to treat brain metastases , meningiomas and arteriovenous malformations . SRS is a form of surgery with a very high dose of non-invasive radiation . SRS is delivered in one treatment . Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy ( SBRT ) treatment provides the same precisely defined targets for patients with tumors throughout the body , typically treating lung , pancreas and liver cancers outside of the central nervous system . SBRT is five treatments or less .
