By rate of growth I mean millimeters as opposed to centimeters. Brain tumors are generally quite agressive and grow fast. If the growth is only 1 -3 mm, the tumor may be neucrotic.
You may want to post on the Cyberknife Society website where posts are answered by actual radiation oncologists. There is a procedure called Fractionated stereoradiation where tumors are treated over several sessions.
The Cyberknife procedure can perform this function.
Go the the link below to our Brain Tumor page. There are links to the other sites there as well as much additional information on brain tumors.
