What are the Benefits?

• Alternative to conventional open surgery
• Pain-free
• Non-invasive
• Can be generally done as an outpatient procedure
• No anaesthetic required
• No recovery time
• No blood loss
• Lesions/tumours that have previously had the maximum dose of standard radiation can be treated
• Lower risks than with conventional surgery
• Treatment of lesions/tumours previously untreatable by surgery or standard radiation
• Can often achieve comparable or better outcomes than conventional surgery
• The ability to give stronger more accurate doses of radiation directly to the tumour means that the number of treatment doses can be decreased.
• The risk of radiological damage to normal surrounding healthy tissues is minimised greatly
• Increased patient comfort due to the elimination of the invasive head frame
• Quicker return to normal activity
