How long will it take to recover after radiosurgery for a malignant brain tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiosurgery, either: Linac or gamma knife, is not commonly used for glioma, but is regularly used for metastatic lesions. The procedure usually takes a day, including frame fixing, mr to identify lesion(s), and tehn treatment delivery. But you walk out of the suite and go home. May feel some fatigue, head ache, nausea. No aftermath is common.
