Axesse™ Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is a radiation treatment that offers highly-accurate targeting of tumors and lesions virtually anywhere in the body. - Gamma Knife®
Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become the treatment of choice for selected benign and malignant brain tumors and vascular malformations involving the brain, as an alternative to conventional open surgery. - Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a form of radiation treatment where the radioactive material is placed in direct contact with the tumor, or areas at risk once the tumor is removed post-surgery.
