A small number of very precise, high-dose treatments to a well-defined target in the body — concentrating the dose where it counts, with steep fall-off around it.
SBRT delivers a high, ablative dose to a small, clearly-defined target in just a few sessions — precision radiation, compressed into days rather than weeks.
Where conventional radiation spreads dose over many small daily fractions, SBRT delivers a much higher dose per session to a tightly-defined target, in typically one to five treatments. It depends on rigorous immobilisation and image guidance.
Because the dose per session is high, planning and verification are exacting. Dr. Bhatnagar will assess whether your tumour's size, site and surroundings make SBRT a suitable option.
Bring your reports and scans for a consultation — he will tell you plainly whether radiation has a role.
