I’m Gil Lederman. Welcome to our website for Radiosurgery New York.

Radiosurgery New York is dedicated to sophisticated radiation treatments. Our physicians have had extensive experience using non-invasive fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery - both in the brain and body, as well as prostate.

We were the first, as physicians, to bring fractionated body radiosurgery to the Western Hemisphere and believe we have the largest experience. Patients find satisfaction and comfort knowing that our experience is important which can help guide them when making treatment decisions. Obviously, each treatment decision will be made ultimately by the patient with family support.

The purpose of this website is to provide a variety of information and our treatment philosophy to you. In general, our guiding principle is to try to gain local control of tumors as well as whenever possible and as best as possible, minimize unnecessary radiation to healthy tissues. Often for cancer this means dose escalation sometimes in a few larger-than-normal treatments.

Our physicians have extensive experience using seed implantation for prostate cancer and we have perhaps the best data nationally and internationally showing five and ten-year cancer-free survival. Body radiosurgery allows us a variety of treatment options. We can boost the dose precisely to deliver radiation in greater amounts to improve local control. We can also, when appropriate, re-treat areas that even have had prior radiation, chemotherapy or surgery. The majority of cancers in the area we treat are successfully controlled. Control means cessation of growth, shrinkage or disappearance of the cancer.

For brain tumors, we treat both benign and malignant tumors. We have the largest experience in the world treating acoustic neuromas using fractionated radiosurgery. We also have extensive experience treating meningiomas, metastases to the brain as well as primary brain tumors such as glioblastomas and astrocytomas. We also have a large experience with a variety of tumors too extensive to list here.

There is a great deal of information on this site. More information is available by calling us at 212-CHOICES or sending your questions to me directly at Gil.Lederman@RSNY.org. Our location in central Manhattan makes treatment more accessible. For those coming from out-of-state and overseas, New York should prove as interesting and stimulating as treatment is innovative.
