SRT is a precise form of external beam radiation therapy or EBRT (eg, GammaKnife, CyberKnife). During SRT treatment, patients are fitted with a mask that keeps their head perfectly still as a high dose of radiation is delivered to the tumor site.1 SRT is targeted directly at the brain tumor to limit radiation exposure to healthy tissue.1 It is typically completed on an outpatient basis in 1 to 5 treatments.1
