Both primary brain tumours and tumours that have spread to the brain are treated with radiation — by fractionated radiotherapy, or for small well-defined targets, stereotactic radiosurgery delivered without an incision.
For tumours in the brain, radiation can be delivered either as a focused, high-precision treatment to a small target, or as carefully fractionated therapy over weeks — chosen to fit the tumour.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) concentrates a high dose onto a small, well-defined target in one or a few sessions — useful for metastases and certain benign tumours, with no surgical incision. Larger or more diffuse tumours are treated with fractionated radiotherapy, often after surgery and alongside other therapies.
SRS is typically completed quickly; fractionated treatment runs over weeks. Dr. Bhatnagar will explain which approach suits your diagnosis and how the treatment is positioned with millimetre accuracy.
