What is Full-body Stereotactic Radiosurgery?
Full-body stereotactic radiosurgery is also known as Extracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery. It administers three accelerated treatments of radiation and is especially helpful in patients with: early-stage lung cancer that is medically inoperable,liver metastasis and treatment of tumors located next to the spine. Full-body stereotactic radiosurgery uses an Onboard Imager which spins around patient instead of taking a single picture. An X-ray takes just front and side films. This treatment is available at Gulf Coast Cancer Centers Foley Location.
