Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Definition

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a highly precise form of radiation therapy that delivers high doses of radiation to targeted tumors in the body while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It uses advanced imaging techniques and computer algorithms to accurately focus the radiation beams on the tumor, allowing for fewer treatment sessions and reduced side effects compared to conventional radiation therapy.
