What is radiosurgery?

Also known as: stereotactic radiosurgery, SRS, cyberknife.

Radiosurgery is a form of radiation therapy that delivers large doses of highly concentrated, specifically targeted, radiation to exactly the area of the body where it’s needed without damaging the normal healthy tissue around it.
