Patient Application
Tumors:

Brain Tumors are either benign or malignant.  Benign tumors are not cancerous and do not invade tissue, but can put pressure on brain tissue causing many problems.  About 80 percent of malignant brain tumors don’t originate in the brain, but come from cancerous cells that have spread from other primary cancers in the body. This type of brain tumor is called a metastatic tumor.

The International Gamma Knife Clinics can treat a wide range of tumors and disorders.  Below is a list of tumors, lesions, and disorders the International Gamma Knife Clinics  can treat.  It is required that latest MRI or CT Scans be reviewed by our Doctors to determine if you are a candidate for Gamma Knife Surgery
