Stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS, is an advanced form of external beam radiation therapy used for small targets.
SRS focuses beams of high-dose radiation in the shape of your tumor or specific area. The radiation is given in one large dose compared to multiple daily treatments.
SRS can treat conditions like cancerous and noncancerous brain tumors, skull-base tumors and tangles of blood vessels in the brain, called arteriovenous malformations (AVM).
Radiation oncology specialists at University of Maryland have successfully used SRS since 1992. SRS is ideal for treating tumors near sensitive areas of the body such as the brain and spine. Patients who may benefit from stereotactic radiosurgery include those with:
You may also have stereotactic radiosurgery after whole-brain radiation therapy for metastatic tumors affecting the entire brain.
Depending on your condition, you may have a frame-based or frameless SRS procedure.
