SRS & SRT Treatment in Lucknow | I D Cancer Centre
Ultra-Precise, High-Dose Treatment for Brain and Body Tumours at I D Cancer Centre, Lucknow
SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) and SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) are among the most advanced and precise radiation treatments available today. They deliver very high-dose radiation to small, well-defined tumours with sub-millimetre accuracy—often replacing surgery.
What Are SRS and SRT?
SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery)
A single high-dose radiation treatment
Used mainly for small brain tumours or functional conditions
Non-surgical procedure (no incision, no anaesthesia)

Non-surgical procedure (no incision, no anaesthesia)
SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy)
Similar precision as SRS
Radiation delivered in multiple small sessions (usually 3–5)
Used for slightly larger or sensitive areas

How SRS/SRT Works
SRS/SRT uses advanced imaging, computer-guided planning, and robotic precision:

5. Real-Time Monitoring & Verification
IGRT or CBCT ensures perfect alignment before delivering radiation.
The high-dose destroys the tumour cells while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
