Although used to treat a variety
of conditions, Gamma Knife stands alone in offering hope for brain
tumor patients who have an inoperable diagnosis and for patients
with advanced age or medical conditions that prohibit surgery. Gamma
Knife allows doctors to treat tumors impossible to treat with surgery,
including tumors near the brain stem, cranial nerves and optic apparatus. |
Gamma
Knife is not only a non-invasive and virtually painless treatment;
it's also cost-effective. With Gamma Knife, treatment costs are
reduced by 30-70% compared with traditional treatments that require
hospitalization and a lengthy recovery period. There's little interference
with your daily routine since the procedure is usually performed
on an outpatient basis with patients returning to a normal lifestyle
within just a few days after treatment. Gamma Knife treatment is
covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans.
