What is the edge of radiation?
The Edge is highly sophisticated radiation equipment used for patients who have malignant cancer and benign tumors. Radiosurgery uses and manipulates very sharp, precisely-focused radiation beams to eliminate tumors, exactly like a surgical procedure.
Where is radiosurgery performed?
This procedure is performed in the Department of Radiation Oncology, only at Stony Brook Medicine. Originally used for tumors in the brain, radiosurgery is now used to destroy cancer in many different organs. When used in different parts of the body, it is referred to as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
What is Varian Edge?
The Varian Edge radiosurgery system is used to precisely target and treat tumors. It is a technology system consisting of imaging, body positioning, motion management, beam shaping, and dose delivery of radiation beams that target tumors with extreme precision.
Does Varian Edge work with chemotherapy?
Varian Edge radiosurgery also works with chemotherapy or other targeted therapies.
What Is Stereotactic Radiosurgery?
Despite its name, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a nonsurgical, noninvasive technique for delivering radiation beams to a tumor with great precision.
Benefits of Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Although individual experiences may vary, benefits of SRS can include:
What to Expect During Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Before beginning treatment, your medical team uses 2D and 3D imaging technology to locate the exact size and position of the tumor. Information gained from these images will help determine the amount of radiation to be used, the angles to deliver it and the number of sessions needed.
