Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy employs highly precise patient positioning and radiation delivery methods to aim beams of radiation, from many angles, to cover a tumors that often are in sensitive areas of the body. The treatment is split into a number of smaller doses (fractions) of radiation.   

Tumors Treated with Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy

• Brain tumors, both benign and malignant
• Metastatic brain lesions
• Non-tumor lesions in the brain such as Arterio-Venous Malformations (AVM)
• Vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas  
• Meningiomas 
• Certain types of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tonsil, larynx, tongue, sinus, base of skull and mouth
