I Am Interested in Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors

The Brain Tumor Center employs the latest techniques for the effective delivery of radiation that finely targets a brain tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissues—including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 3-D conformal radiation therapy, high-dose rate brachytherapy, and Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery.

Our center was the first in New Jersey to offer Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which brings together multiple radiation beams from different angles with pinpoint precision to destroy a tumor. This form of stereotactic radiosurgery makes it possible to treat brain tumors considered inaccessible or inoperable by conventional surgery. Moreover, you can go home the same day as your treatment. Your team will let you know if radiation therapy is an option for you, and if so, the most appropriate type of treatment.
