Mayo Clinic experts describe the use of radiosurgery to treat select brain tumors. Visit mayocl.in/2m7jlnG to request an appointment or learn more about radiosurgery or brain tumor treatment at Mayo Clinic.
Radiosurgery is not surgery, but a type of radiation that delivers a very high dose of radiation to a select area of the brain. This is designed to kill the tumor and spare the surrounding tissue.
Similar to using a magnifying glass to focus a beam of light, radiosurgery is a focused procedure that is sometimes used for tumors located in deep-seated areas of the brain.
