Stereotactic body radiotherapy

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an advanced cancer treatment that uses highly focused high-dose radiation beams to target tumors precisely while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It typically involves fewer sessions than traditional radiation, often delivered in one to five treatments. SBRT is commonly used for tumors in the brain, lungs, and liver, and relies on advanced imaging and precise patient positioning to ensure accuracy. This technique effectively destroys cancer cells with minimal side effects, offering an effective option for tumors that are difficult to remove surgically or where preserving healthy tissue is important.
