STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY

RADIATION ONCOLOGY
The use of high-energy ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells is known as Radiation Oncology. This type of treatment involves the use of high-energy X-Ray or Gamma ray beams to destroy the cancerous tissues or tumor area. The high energy radiation helps in curing cancer by stopping its growth and spread. Alternately, Radiation Therapy also provides relief from pain and bleeding due to cancer. 60 - 75% of all cancer cases require Radiation Therapy either as a curative or palliative procedure or a form of therapy at some or the other stages of treatment.
