Gamma Knife vs. Whole-Brain Radiation | Side Effects and Treatment Time
Dr. Anthony D’Ambrosio sits down to discuss some of the main benefits of Gamma Knife radiosurgery vs. whole-brain radiation. Gamma knife radiation is given in less than 5 treatment visits to the hospital, and most times, gamma knife treatment is complete after only one visit. In contrast, whole-brain radiation therapy is usually given over 30 separate visits. Whole-brain radiation side effects are also much more serious than those of gamma knife radiosurgery.
