Radiosurgery: Very high dose, precise radiation can be delivered to selected brain tumors (cancerous or non cancerous) to destroy them or keep them from growing. Gamma knife is one such machine used for non invasive treatment of a brain tumor.

Type of brain: Tumor is critical. A meningioma and glioblastoma have different outlooks, and different treatment. Gamma knife and srs precision high dose radiotherapy applies to metastases best, and works poorly in high grade gliomas. Seek a team that does all of these, and listens to your concerns, and balances your options, benefits and risks.
