SRS and precision radiation therapy for primary brain tumors and brain metastases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can brain tumors be treated without surgery?
Yes, SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) is a non-invasive treatment for many brain tumors. Dr. Rahul DL offers SRS at Apollo Hospital, delivering precise radiation to brain tumors without surgical incisions.
What is the difference between SRS and SRT?
SRS delivers a high dose in a single session, ideal for small tumors. SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) spreads the dose over several sessions, suitable for larger tumors near critical structures. Dr. Rahul DL determines the best approach based on individual cases.
Will I be awake during Stereotactic Radiosurgery?
Yes, you are fully awake. The procedure is entirely painless. You simply lie on the treatment bed while the machine delivers the focused beams of radiation.
How long is the recovery after brain radiation?
For single-session SRS, patients usually return home the same day and resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. For longer fractionated courses, fatigue may build up over time but gradually resolves after treatment ends.
