Single fraction stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS) treatment is
now available on the Gold Coast.
With almost 20 years experience in performing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and
stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in Brisbane, Genesis CancerCare announce the
expansion of our program to our Southport Centre on the Gold Coast.
SRS is an advanced technique delivering large doses of
precisely focused beams of radiation to brain lesions, often
located near critical structures.
The aim of treatment is to inactivate or destroy lesions, whilst
sparing and minimising impact on the surrounding normal
brain tissue. Flexible options ensure that patients receive the
best treatment for their condition - single or fractionated.
Patient Selection - SRS and SRT
The following tumour types are eligible for this treatment:
brain metastases, meningiomas, pineal tumours, pituitary
adenomas, acoustic neuromas and recurrent brain tumours
including gliomas (glioblastoma multiforme).
