SBRT

SBRT stands for Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy. It’s a specialized form of radiation therapy designed to deliver high doses of radiation precisely to tumors in the body, typically in just a few treatment sessions.

We understand the challenges of a cancer diagnosis and strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel empowered and informed throughout their treatment journey.

Here are some key points about SBRT:

1. High Precision: SBRT uses advanced imaging and targeting techniques to deliver radiation with extreme accuracy, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
2. Treatment Schedule: Unlike conventional radiation therapy, which may involve daily treatments over several weeks, SBRT usually involves fewer sessions (often 1 to 5), delivering a higher dose per session.
3. Common Applications: It is often used to treat small tumors in various locations, including the lungs, liver, spine, and pancreas. It can be effective for both primary tumors and metastases.
4. Non-Invasive: Like SRS, SBRT is non-invasive and can often be performed on an outpatient basis, leading to less recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
5. Benefits: SBRT can provide effective treatment outcomes while minimizing side effects and improving the patient’s quality of life.
