Superficial X-Ray Therapy: Procedure, Benefits, and Risks

Stereotactic radiosurgery is a non-invasive treatment option for brain tumors that delivers precise radiation to the targeted area. This treatment is highly effective in treating both cancerous and non-cancerous brain tumors with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Indications of Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery is commonly used to treat brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, trigeminal neuralgia, and other neurological conditions. It is especially beneficial for patients who are not good candidates for traditional surgery or those who prefer a non-invasive approach to treatment.

Steps involved in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Surgery

During stereotactic radiosurgery, a team of specialists will use advanced imaging techniques to precisely target the tumor or abnormality in the brain. 

High doses of radiation are delivered to the target area, destroying the abnormal cells while sparing healthy tissue.

Who will perform Stereotactic Radiosurgery Surgery?

Stereotactic radiosurgery is typically performed by a team of radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and medical physicists. These specialists work together to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Preparing for Stereotactic Radiosurgery Surgery

Before undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery, patients will need to undergo several imaging tests to precisely map the treatment area. It is important to follow all pre-operative instructions provided by your healthcare team to ensure a successful procedure.

after Stereotactic Radiosurgery surgery

Recovery after stereotactic radiosurgery is typically quick, with most patients able to resume their normal activities within a few days.

Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the progress of the treatment and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.

Before and After Stereotactic Radiosurgery surgery

  • Before the procedure, patients may need to refrain from eating or drinking for a certain period of time.
  • After the procedure, patients may experience some fatigue or mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
  • Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the progress of the treatment and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)?

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive radiation therapy technique that precisely delivers a high dose of radiation to a specific target in the brain or body, typically used to treat tumors and other abnormalities.

How is SRS different from regular radiation therapy?

SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) delivers high doses of radiation precisely to a tumor in fewer sessions compared to regular radiation therapy, which typically requires more sessions and lower doses.

What cancers can SRS treat?

SRS can treat various types of cancers, including brain tumors, metastatic tumors in the brain, and certain head and neck cancers.

Is SRS painful?

SRS (Sex Reassignment Surgery) can cause discomfort and pain after the procedure, but doctors will provide medications to help manage any pain you may experience.

How long does a session of SRS take?

A session of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) usually takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the type and location of the tumor being treated.

How effective is SRS for brain tumors?

SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) is a highly effective treatment for certain types of brain tumors, delivering precise radiation to target the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Are there side effects to SRS?

Side effects of sex reassignment surgery (SRS) can include pain, swelling, bruising, scarring, and potential complications like infections or changes in sensation. It's essential to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing SRS.

Can SRS be used as a sole treatment for tumors?

SRS can be used as a stand-alone treatment for certain tumors, particularly small tumors in the brain. Your doctor will determine if SRS is suitable for your specific situation.

How is the radiation administered during SRS?

During stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), radiation is precisely delivered to the target area in a single high dose using highly focused beams from different angles.

What are the risks of SRS?

Some risks of SRS (Sex Reassignment Surgery) may include bleeding, infection, scarring, and potential loss of sensation in the operated area. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider.
