Brain Radiosurgery

The Stereotactic Radiosurgery program has brought together the essential ingredients of state of the art cancer care in a central Manhattan location. Radiosurgery offers treatment which is innovative yet with a highly desirable track record for newly diagnosed and recurrent cancers located throughout the body including head and neck, chest and abdomen. Our doctors have probably the largest experience worldwide with Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery. See our before and after Brain Radiosurgery Gallery.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery uses highly focused radiation often in higher than usual doses. Stereotactic Radiosurgery is precise by its nature and delivery. Because of larger than usual doses, the results are in general more effective and can often be used even when prior chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery has been unsuccessful. The difference is based on biologic principles.

Stereotactic radiosurgery is not for every patient. We decline to treat one-half of the potential patients who apply. We believe, however, that for selected patients, there is great appeal. We have the ability to offer, when appropriate, more intense treatment locally, smaller fields of radiation (so healthy tissues receive lesser amounts of radiation), higher doses per fraction (means, in general, less treatments) with higher control rates.
