    Gil Lederman on Hypo-Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery
    Some cancers are poorly treated by conventional radiation or chemotherapeutic means. These include primary and metastatic cancers to sites as the lungs, abdominal cavity, mediastinum, adrenal glands, pelvis, kidney, pancreas, spleen, retroperitoneum, pre-sacral space, liver and elsewhere. With our treatment approaches, cancers traditionally thought to be resistant to radiation have had generally good treatment outcomes in the targeted site. These include even kidney cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma. Primary liver cancers - like hepatomas - pancreatic cancers and lung cancers (among many other types) are frequently suitable for Body Radiosurgery. Other cancers, more than can be listed here, have been treated with Body Radiosurgery by our experts at Radiosurgery New York.

    Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery might be contemplated even when standard radiation has already been performed. Body Radiosurgery may be used as a ‘boost’ after conventional or standard radiation to increase the dose and improve the control rate of the primary cancer. Most all radiation oncologists (whether they are familiar with Body Radiosurgery or not) believe that higher radiation doses will provide greater cancer control. Our physicians probably have the world’s largest experience of re-radiation – that is, to repeat radiation after other standard radiation hasn’t worked. It’s a critical area because many cancers are not controlled with standard type or dose radiation.
