One of the main drawbacks of traditional radiation therapy is that the radiation can damage healthy tissue that is near the cancerous cells that are being treated. However, because radiosurgery uses precise doses of radiation whose treatment beam is shaped to match the cancerous tumor exactly, the cancerous cells are shrunk or destroyed without harming the nearby healthy tissues.

This is one of the greatest benefits of radiosurgery.

Below are some of the benefits of radiosurgery with PAMF's Novalis TX® system.

• Damage to nearby healthy organs and other soft tissues is minimized.
  
• Radiation dose is delivered with pinpoint accuracy, which improves outcomes and decreases side effects.
  
• Treatment can be administered within minutes - and often in a single session.
  
• Faster treatment times increase patients' comfort and minimize disruption in a patient's life and schedule.
  
• Treatment is painless.
  
• Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
