Re: Seeking Whole Brain Radiation Info

SRS Cyberknife and Gamma Knife can be used to treat multiple brain mets. My wife had 11 treated in one sitting and they have all gone now. She has had 20 treated over the back 30 months and only one of them is still showing enhancement. As long as any one lesion is smaller then 3cm and the total tumour burden is less then 20cc it can be done. People are routinely having over 20 lesions treated in a single session now. I have read of 29 in a single session!

It can be repeated if new lesions pop up and the side effects are minimal. The worst part is the frame fitting for Gamma Knife.

I would seek a second opinion.

Hope this helps.
