Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a form of radiation therapy that delivers very high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in the body. It uses precise imaging and advanced technology to target the tumor with great accuracy, often in just a few treatment sessions. SBRT is commonly used for tumors in the lungs, liver, spine, and other areas where precision is crucial.

Also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), SABR is primarily used for treating tumors located outside the brain, such as in the lungs, liver, spine, and prostate. It is effective in targeting both primary tumors and certain metastatic lesions within the body.

Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) is an advanced radiation therapy technique that delivers high doses of focused radiation to precisely target tumors in fewer sessions than traditional therapy. By concentrating radiation on the tumor while sparing healthy tissue, SABR provides an effective, non-invasive option for treating various cancers, often with fewer side effects and quicker recovery times.

Precision Targeting

Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), delivers high doses of radiation with extreme precision to small, well-defined tumors, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

High Dose, Short Duration

ABR is characterized by delivering a high dose of radiation over a few treatment sessions, typically ranging from 1 to 5 sessions, making it a faster treatment option compared to conventional radiation therapy.

Non-Invasive

SABR is a non-invasive alternative to surgery, providing an effective treatment for patients who may not be surgical candidates due to medical conditions or tumor location.

Wide Range of Applications

SABR is effective for treating various types of cancers, including those in the lungs, liver, spine, and prostate, as well as some metastatic lesions, offering a versatile treatment option.

PROSTATE

Treatment for Prostate Cancer

SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) for prostate cancer is a cutting-edge treatment that delivers high doses of radiation directly to the tumor in just a few sessions. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue, offering a faster and more convenient option for patients.

LUNG

Treatment of Stage I Lung Cancer

Utilizing 4-Dimensional imaging, we can do treatment planning to account for motion during breathing. On board imaging prior to treatment ensure precise and accurate delivery of high dose radiation therapy.

SPINE

Spinal Metastasis

SBRT for spine metastasis delivers precise, high-dose radiation to spinal tumors, reducing pain and controlling cancer spread. This targeted treatment minimizes damage to nearby tissues while offering effective relief and improved quality of life.

BONE

Treatment of Oligometastatic Disease

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) provides a cutting-edge treatment for patients with oligometastatic disease by precisely targeting a limited number of metastatic tumors with high doses of radiation. This treatment enhances local tumor control and may improve overall survival while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
