Radiation Therapy is a procedure that allows for non-invasive treatments of benign and malignant prostate tumors. It uses highly concentrated, precise dosages of radiation to treat the tumor otherwise difficult to access by traditional invasive surgery. This innovative procedure is virtually pain-free and is largely successful in destroying the cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones. Radiosurgery is a fantastic option for patients who require or are interested in a successful alternative to traditional surgery.
