Radiosurgery is a proven alternative or
adjunct therapy to the surgical removal of brain lesions such as
vascular malformations, malignant tumors, metastases, and brain tumors.
It is often recommended when lesions are located near critical brain
structures, making them difficult to reach with invasive surgery.
Typically performed on an outpatient basis, stereotactic radiosurgery
is the non-invasive delivery of a precise dose of high-energy radiation
to a lesion located within the skull.
