Benefits of Radiation Therapy for Brain Cancer
Radiation therapy is a proven treatment option with a low risk of complications
Understanding Brain Tumors
Brain tumors account for 1 out of every 100 cancers found each year in the US
Brain tumors can develop at any age but are more common in children and older adults. A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain or close to your brain. There are about 120 different types of brain tumors and they are generally named after the type of cell they developed from. Some brain tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant).
Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary or metastatic brain tumors). The growth rate, as well as the location of a brain tumor, determines how it will affect the function of your nervous system.
While brain tumors can be a serious and life-altering condition, advances in treatment options have led to improved outcomes for many patients. State-of-the-art technology, like linear accelerators, advanced imaging techniques, and high-speed computer systems, are helping us care for our brain tumor patients with more powerful and precise doses of radiation than ever before.

Accurately Targets Individual Tumors
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to target and destroy cancer cells. The beams are precisely aimed at the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This makes it an ideal treatment option for tumors located in a sensitive area of the body

Pain-free Treatment
Radiation therapy is typically a pain-free treatment option. Some short term side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and hair loss may occur, but they are usually mild and can be managed with the help of a medical team
