Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is an advanced radiation therapy technique that delivers highly focused, high-dose radiation to tumors located outside the brain with exceptional precision. This innovative treatment is designed to destroy cancer cells while minimizing radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissues and vital organs.
At Dr. Charu Garg's Radiation Oncology practice, SBRT is used to provide personalized, evidence-based cancer treatment for patients with early-stage cancers, metastatic tumors, and selected recurrent cancers. Every treatment plan is carefully customized to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes while preserving the patient's quality of life.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a highly specialized form of external beam radiation therapy that delivers very high doses of radiation to a tumor over a small number of treatment sessions. Using advanced imaging, computerized treatment planning, and precise patient positioning, SBRT accurately targets tumors with sub-millimeter precision.
SBRT delivers highly focused radiation with exceptional accuracy, maximizing tumor control while protecting nearby healthy tissues and organs.
Most SBRT treatments are completed in just one to five sessions, offering effective treatment with greater convenience and a shorter overall treatment duration.
Before treatment begins, a detailed planning process is carried out using CT Simulation and, when necessary, MRI or PET-CT imaging. These advanced imaging techniques help the radiation oncology team accurately identify the tumor while protecting surrounding healthy tissues and critical organs.
The treatment planning process includes:
Using advanced treatment planning software, highly focused radiation beams are delivered from multiple angles, allowing the tumor to receive a powerful dose while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues and critical organs.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is an advanced radiation treatment that delivers high-dose radiation with exceptional precision. It provides excellent tumor control while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, resulting in fewer treatment sessions and improved patient comfort.
Targets tumors with exceptional accuracy while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.
Delivers powerful radiation doses with outstanding precision for effective tumor control.
Most SBRT treatments are completed in just one to five treatment sessions.
Provides effective cancer treatment without the need for surgery or hospitalization.
Treatment is delivered without cuts, stitches, or invasive surgical procedures.
Advanced planning minimizes radiation exposure to nearby healthy organs.
Precise radiation delivery helps lower the risk of side effects and complications.
Completes treatment much faster than conventional radiation therapy schedules.
Short treatment courses allow patients to return to normal daily activities more quickly.
Dr. Charu Garg is a highly experienced Radiation Oncologist with more than 25 years of expertise in advanced radiation therapy. She specializes in modern radiation techniques and delivers personalized, evidence-based cancer treatment using the latest technology to achieve the best possible outcomes.
No. SBRT is completely painless. Patients do not feel the radiation during treatment.
Most SBRT treatments are completed within 1 to 5 sessions, depending on the type and location of the tumor.
For selected cancers, SBRT delivers a higher dose of radiation with greater precision over fewer treatment sessions while reducing exposure to healthy tissues.
For some patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery or have small localized tumors, SBRT can be an effective treatment option. The most appropriate treatment depends on an individual clinical evaluation.
Most patients tolerate SBRT well. Side effects vary depending on the treatment area and are usually temporary. Your radiation oncologist will discuss possible side effects before treatment begins.
